Find the slope and y intercept of the line represented by each table

5. m=3 because 6/2 is the slope. b= 1

6. m= -4 because -20/5 is the slope. b= 140

Without graphing, we can tell that a solution is going to be (0,-1). This is because in slope intercept form, y=mx+b, the “b” is our “y intercept.”
What this means is: the point on the graph that the given line goes through when x=0. In this case, “b” is -1, so the line will go through (0,-1).
