A)Slope:3/7; intercept:-5
B)Slope:5; intercept:3/7
C)Slope:3/7; intercept:5
D)Slope:-5; intercept:3/7

Answer 1

A.

Answer 2

First draw out the line

Answer 3

this equation is in the slope- intercept form of \(\ y=mx+b\) where \(\ m\) is the slope.

Answer 4

\[\ m= \frac{rise}{run} = \frac{up \ \ 3}{over \ \ 7}\]
