How do you find the slope for x-int: 5 and y-int: 4?

Answer 1

Hazel Anglin

The x-intercept #5# is the point #(5,0)# The y-intercept #4# is the point #(0,4)#

The slope is #m = (Delta_y)/(Delta_x)#

#= (0-4)/(5-0)#

#= - 4/5#

To find the slope when given the (x)-intercept and (y)-intercept of a linear equation, you can use the formula:

[ \text{Slope} = \frac{{\text{y-intercept}}}{{\text{x-intercept}}} ]

Substitute the given values into the formula:

[ \text{Slope} = \frac{{4}}{{5}} ]

Therefore, the slope is ( \frac{4}{5} ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
