Question

-5-3. Find the slope (simplify) and y-intercept. Then write the equation.6 Slope:(ipt)5+(-1,4)7y-intercept:(ipt)Equation:(pt)2.81(3, 0)-2-11 2 3 4 X

Answer 1

(-1,4) and (3,0) find the slope

step 1

Find the slope

m=(0-4)/(3+1)

m=-4/4

m=-1

step 2

Find the equation in slope intercept form

y=mx+b

we have

m=-1

point (3,0)

substitute

0=-1*(3)+b

solve for b

0=-3+b

b=3

the equation is equal to

y=-x+3

so

the y-intercept is the point (0,3)
