Answer 1

Step 1

The slope(m) is calculated by finding the ratio of the "vertical change" to the "horizontal change" between (any) two distinct points on a line. Sometimes the ratio is expressed as a quotient ("rise over run"), giving the same number for every two distinct points on the same line.

From the question we will have;

`\begin{gathered} slope=m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ rise=y_2-y_1 \\ run=x_2-x_1 \end{gathered}`
`y-intercept=b=(0,b)`
