Question

The instructor’s friend also plans to rent an apartment in the same complex. Use the graph to identify the y-intercept and the slope used to write the equation in slope intercept form.

y-intercept =

Slope =

Linear equation =

Answer 1

when you get a chance, would you mind uploading a picture of the graph?

in the meantime, you can pick two points from the graph and apply the slope formula

\[m = \frac{ (y_{2}-y{1}) }{ (x_{2}-x{1}) }\] using your chosen (x1,y1) and (x2,y1)


now, for the y-intercept, simply find the y-value where x = 0. alternatively, if the y-intercept isn't visible, you can use the general form y = mx + b, plug in your m (slope) from before, plug in one of the (x,y) coordinates from the previous step, then solve for b.
