So we'll give you a couple different ways to look at things.
00:04
Your question does say find the slope and why intercept of a line? well, what you want to do with the slope is pick two points on your graph, preferably at integer values.
00:17
So i might pick this point here and this point here.
00:24
To find the slope, we then want to calculate how far our line rises and how far our run is from point to point.
00:32
It looks like we go from 3 to 6.
00:36
So we rose 3 and we went over 1, 2, 3, 4.
00:43
So the slope of this line is going to be 3 4ths.
00:48
Based on this picture, our y intercept crosses the axis at 3.
00:55
Another way you might be asked to find the slope and y intercept is when you're given, say, two points.
01:03
So let's say we're given negative 2 6ths.
01:07
And we're given the point 2 let's say 2 6ths...
