Respuesta :

Using linear function concepts, it is found that the statement that accurately describes the procedure to find the slope and the y-intercept is given by:

To find the slope, use two ordered pairs on the line and substitute into the equation [tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]. To find the y-intercept, begin at the origin and move vertically to the graphed line.

What is a linear function?

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

Given two points [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex], the slope is given by change in y divided by change in x, hence:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

The y-intercept is the value of y(vertical axis) when x = 0, hence we begin at the origin and move vertically to the graphed line.
