Find slope and y intercept?

Question

Give the slope and the  intercept of the line .

Answer 1

When asked for the slope and y-intercept, the most transparent form of a line is the slope-intercept form which looks like:

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

Now just rewrite the equation you have into the slope-intercept form:

-3x+4y = 5 [First, Isolate y into one side]

4y = 3x + 5

y = 3/4 x + 5/4 [Then make sure the right side has the form: constant * x + constant]

Now the equation gives you everything you need:

y = m x + b

y = 3/4 x + 5/4

Ans: slope = 3/4 = 0.75

y-intercept = 5/4 = 1.25

Answer 2

Hello, Bon,

Rewrite the equation tn standard slope/intercept form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

−3x+4y=5

4y = 3x + 5

y = (3/4)x + (5/4)

y = mx + b

m= (3/4)

b = (5/4)
