a line intercepts at the y axis at -7. if one point on the line the line is (4,5), what is the slope of the line

Question

calculusxy · Answer

Use rise/run
U have to connect the point on the y axis to the x axis. 
So to this first see how we can go vertically and then horizontally. 
U have to go up 11, making it to a positive. 
Then you have to to go to the right, 12.
So it is rise/run=11/12
Now divide 11/12=0.916666....
