Graph the line that has an x -intercept of 5 and a y -intercept of - 4. What is the slope of this line?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To graph the line, we need to plot the x-intercept (5,0) and the y-intercept (0,-4) and draw a line through them. The slope can be found using the formula: slope = (change in y) / (change in x) = (-4 - 0) / (0 - 5) = 4/5. So the equation of the line is y = (4/5)x - 4. Choice B has the correct slope (4/5).
