or any other point on the line?

anonymous · Answer

No...it only crosses the y axis....and it does not cross it in a specific spot, like the meeting spot of 4 boxes or anything...

anonymous · Answer

you use the point-slope formula and then change it to slope-intercept form

anonymous · Answer

How can I use the point-slope formula, with only one point?

anonymous · Answer

oh wait. you need another point to find out the slope. sorry nvm u cant.
