Question

What is the slope and the y-intercept of the line on the graph below?

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (0, 1) and (4, 0).
slope = –4, y-intercept = 1
slope = –4, y-intercept = 4
slope = Negative one-fourth, y-intercept = 1
slope = Negative one-fourth, y-intercept = 4

Answer 1

Slope = -1/4, y-intercept = 1.

Calculation: m = (0 - 1)/(4 - 0) = -1/4, and the point (0,1) gives the y-intercept 1.
