Answers:

  • y intercept = 3/5
  • x intercept = -1
  • slope = 3/5

=========================================================

Explanation:

The two points (-1,0) and (4,3) are on the line.

Let's use the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (3-0)/(4-(-1))

m = (3-0)/(4+1)

m = 3/5 is the slope

-------------------

The x intercept is -1 because this is where the line crosses the x axis.

The y intercept is a bit more tricky. It appears the graph is crossing at y = 0.5 on the y axis, but this may not be the case.

Let's find out

y = mx+b

0 = (3/5)*(-1)+b

0 = -0.6+b

0.6 = b

b = 0.6

b = 3/5 is the y intercept

Coincidentally, the slope and y intercept are the same value. This won't always happen.

slope is 3/5
slope is determined by y/x
y intercept also 3/5
x intercept -1
