Answer 1

Do you know how to find slope and the y intercept?

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

Slope is simply the Rise over the Run. (Rise meaning how many steps up, and run meaning steps over). You can use this equation to find slope using 2 points from the line. \[y2-y1/x2-x1\]

Answer 4

Do you know what the Y intercept is?

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

The y intercept is where the line crosses over the y axis.

Answer 7

So, the slope of the line that you have provided would be found by plugging the points into the equation. use the points (2,0) and (0,-1)

Answer 8

-1

Answer 9

?

Answer 10

Your slope is 1/2

Answer 11

oh ok

Answer 12

So, to put this into y=mx+b form (slope intercept form) you would put the slope in place of the m. So, y=1/2x+b. B is the y intercept, which is -1. so, youre left with y=1/2x+-1

Answer 13

ok thx
