Question 1141997
<font face="times" color="black" size="3">
If you mean "y intercept of 2", then the point (0,2) is on this line.


We have the two points (-1, -3) and (0, 2). Let's use the slope formula.


{{{m = (y[2] - y[1])/(x[2] - x[1])}}}


{{{m = (2 - (-3))/(0 - (-1))}}}


{{{m = (2 + 3)/(0 + 1)}}}


{{{m = (5)/(1)}}}


{{{m = 5}}}


Final Answer: <font size=5 color=red>5</font>


-----------------


side note: The value 5 can be written as 5/1. Compare this to slope = rise/run and we see that rise = 5 and run = 1. Therefore, we go up 5 each time we move to the right 1, so we can generate as many points as we want along this line.
