A line has a slope of 1 and passes through the point (–2, 4) .

Answer 1

y=x +b

4=-2 +b

b =6 = the y intercept

the equation with the given slope through the given point is

y=x +6

the slope = 1 = the coefficient of the x term, when the equation is solved for y.

x has an implicit coefficient of 1.

plug in the point (-2, 4) x=-2, y = 4

4=-2+6

the y intercept = 6

x intercept = -6
