Which slope and y-intercept correspond with the graph?

slope: 3 4 y-intercept: 3 slope: 4 3 y-intercept: -3 slope: - 3 4 y-intercept: 3 slope: - 4 3 y-intercept: -3 NextReset

slope is rise over run, or aka the change in the y value over the change in the x value.

OpenStudy (imstuck):

The graph doesn't actually go through any discernible points on the graph. Without exact points of intersection on the graph, it's very difficult to tell much for certain.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it the slope 3/4 or -3/4?

OpenStudy (imstuck):

Although it appears the the points (-2, -6) and (4, 2) are good ones to use. The slope would be, if using these points, 4/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

negative or positive

OpenStudy (imstuck):

The graph goes through the y axis at (0, -3), so the y intercept is -3. The answer you want is the second one. The slope is positive because it is going "uphill". Negative slopes go "downhill".
