We have the following equation: Y = -5/4 x + 1 The slope of the line in this case is: m = -5 / 4 The intersection with the y axis occurs when x = 0: Y = -5/4 (0) +1 Y = 1 Note: See attached image. Answer: m = -5 / 4 Y = 1 See graphic.
y = mx + b is the slope intercept form. mx = the slope of the graph b = the y intercept. The slope of this equation would be -5/4x The y intercept would be 1
