The slope is -1, and the value of the y-intercept is 6 if the linear function contains the points provided.
What is the slope?
The ratio that y increase as x increases is the slope of a line. The slope of a line reflects how steep it is, but how much y increases as x increases. Anywhere on the line, the slope stays unchanged (the same).
[tex]\rm m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
The slope is:
[tex]\rm m =\dfrac{6-8}{0-(-2)}[/tex]
m = -1
The equation of a line:
y = mx + c
y = -x + c
Plug x = 0 and y = 6
y = 6
y-intercept is (0, 6)
Thus, the slope is -1, and the value of the y-intercept is 6 if the linear function contains the points provided.
