Help me answer intercept of lines!

Question

So identify the y-intercept and the x-intercept and the slope of the line.

In my graph the y-intercept is (-0,-3). The X-intercept is (1,0).

Please help me!!

Answer 1

So it sounds like you've found the two intercepts all that is left is to calculate the slope using the slope formula.

I will use the x intercept (1,0) as (x₁,y₁) and the y intercept as (x₂,y₂).

m=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) ---> m=(-3-0)/(0-1) ---> m=(-3)/(-1) ---> m=3

The slope of the line would be 3.
