Question

What is the slope and intercept for `y=1/4x+5` and how would you graph it?

Answer 1

graph{1/4x+5 [-20.84, 19.16, -0.32, 19.68]}

slope is: 1/4
x- interept is:-20
y-intercept is: 5

Explanation:

Slope is just the co-efficent in front of the x term i.e. m, in y=mx+c

The y-intercept is given by c

To calculate the x-intercept set `y=0` then reverse the mapping to solve for x

`0=x/4+5`
`-5=x/4`
`-20=x`
