Determining Slope and y-Intercept of Linear Functions
Find the slope and y-intercept for the two linear functions.

A 2-column table with 5 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries negative 6, negative 4, 2, 5, 9. Column 2 is labeled y with entries negative 2.5, negative 3, negative 4.5, negative 5.25, and negative 6.25. y = three-halves x + 1.

Identify the slope of the line given in the table:
Identify the y-intercept of the line given in the table:
Identify the slope of the line given by the equation:
Identify the y-intercept of the line given by the equation:

Answer 1

- For the line given by the table:
- Slope = -1/4
- y-intercept = -4 (point (0, −4))

- For the equation y = (3/2)x + 1:
- Slope = 3/2
- y-intercept = 1 (point (0, 1))
