slope 3/4 y- intercept (0, -35

Question

The slope is 3/4, the y intercept is

Answer 1

y = mx + b  where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

 

substitute what you have been given, 3/4 slope; y-intercept  -35

 

y = 3/4 x  +  (-35)

 

Set up an  x  !  y chart to determine points for graph

 

start with 0 for x

 

x   !   y

______

0   !  -35

4   !  -32

8   !  -29

 

Look for pattern

 

slope is y/x  (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

 

slope is 3/4
