Your x and y intercepts give you two points on the line of the graph. Use these two points in the slope equation m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), and that gives you the slope.

Find the slope and intercepts of each line y equals -x plus 1000?
Slope: -1 intercepts: (0,1000),(1000,0)
How to find the slope to an equation?
If it is the equation for a line, then it can be rearranged into the format y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line, and b is the point where the line intercepts the y-axis.If it is not for a straight line, then the slope is changing with x, and the derivative of the function would find the slope at a particular x.
How do you find the x intercepts using the vertex and y intercept?
It depends on the vertex of what!
How do you find how many x intercepts the parabola has using the discriminant?
If the discriminant is negative, there are 0 interceptsIf the discriminant is zero, there is 1 interceptIf the discriminant is positive, there are 2 intercepts
Why do you need x intercepts for quadratic equations?
so you can find the solution for the x-values. the x-intercepts are when the graph crosses the x-axis

Slope: -1 intercepts: (0,1000),(1000,0)
How do you find x with two points and a slope?
The slope is usually derived from the equation y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Slope: m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) As for finding intercepts, for finding the y intercept, look for the b in the equation or make x = 0, for x-intercepts, make y = 0.

How do you find the slope of a curve?
a trick to figuring out the slope is "rise over run". basically, you start where the line intercepts the Y-axis and count up to the spot where it intersects the X-axis. then you count over from the Y to the X interception point. that is your slope.
How do you find how many x intercepts the parabola has using the discriminant?
If the discriminant is negative, there are 0 interceptsIf the discriminant is zero, there is 1 interceptIf the discriminant is positive, there are 2 intercepts
What are slope intercepts for -x plus 3y equals 6?
-x + 3y = 6 3y = x 6 y = x/3 + 2 So slope = 1/3 and intercept = 2
Why do you need x intercepts for quadratic equations?
so you can find the solution for the x-values. the x-intercepts are when the graph crosses the x-axis
How would you use intercepts to find the vertex in a quadratic equation with two x intercepts?
The vertex must be half way between the two x intercepts
What is the slope of the line by the coordinates 2 3 and -6 -4?
If a line includes the points (2, 3) and (-6, -4), then-- its slope is 7/8 = 0.875-- it intercepts the x-axis at x= 6.4/7 = -0.9143 (rounded)-- it intercepts the y-axis at y= 0.8
Can someone name the slope and y-intercepts for each equation:y = 2x - 3y = x + 5y = -4?
