Question

How do you determine the slope and y intercept when given a graph?

Answer 1

The `y`-intercept `b` can be found by reading the `y`-axis where the graph hits the y-axis, and the slope `m` can be found by finding any two distinct points `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2,y_2)` on the graph, and using the slope formula below.

`m={y_2-y_1}/{x_2-x_1}`.
