Question

x 0 9 18
y 3 6 9

Identify the slope and y-intercept of the line. Provide the most simplified form of the slope.
(1 point)
The slope is
. The y-intercept is (0,
).

Answer 1

To find the slope, we use the formula: slope = (change in y) / (change in x)

In this case:
(change in y) = 9 - 3 = 6
(change in x) = 18 - 0 = 18

So, slope = 6/18 = 1/3

The most simplified form of the slope is 1/3.

To find the y-intercept, we look at the point where the line crosses the y-axis. In this case, the y-intercept is at (0,3)

Therefore, the slope is 1/3 and the y-intercept is (0,3).
