Question

Find the slope and y-intercept of the line that is graphed on the coordinate grid.

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope = 1

y-intercept = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation, first determine the value of the slope (m) and the value of the y-intercept (b).

Using two points on the line, (0, -1) and (1, 0),

$slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{0 -(-1)}{1 - 0} = \frac{1}{1} = 1$

Slope (m) = 1

The y-intercept is where the line intercepts the y-axis = -1

b = -1
