Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a coordinate plane with four quadrants. The x and y axes extend from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1. Two points are plotted on the graph. A downward slanting line connects the two points. Point A is plotted at coordinates left parenthesis 0 comma negative 3 right parenthesis. Point B is plotted at left parenthesis negative 4 comma 0 right parenthesis.

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

The slope is 3/4. The y-intercept is (0, -3).

Answer 2

the slope isn't 3/4

Answer 3

I apologize for the error. Let's calculate the correct slope.

To find the slope, we can use the formula:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Given Point A(0, -3) and Point B(-4, 0):

m = (0 - (-3)) / (-4 - 0)
m = 3 / -4
m = -3/4

Therefore, the correct slope is -3/4 and the y-intercept is (0, -3).

Answer 4

Thank you that's correct!
