What is the slope and y-intercept of the equation represented by the following graph?
A. Slope=2, y-intercept= -2/1
B. Slope= -2, y-intercept= -1/2
C. Slope= -1/2, y-intercept= 2
D. Slope=1/2, y-intercept=2
E. Slope= -1, y-intercept=2

Answer 1

It’s C because the y-intercept is where the point intersects on the y-axis and the slope goes up one and over 2 to the left making it negative

Answer 2

C. Slope= -1/2, y-intercept= 2

Explanation:

The y intercept is where it crosses the y axis

It crosses at y=2

We need two points to find the slope

(0,2) and (4,0)

We can use the formula

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

= (0-2)/(4-0)

=-2/4

=-1/2
