Find the slope of a line whose Y intercept is 3 and which passes through (4,11)

__

Open in App

Solution

Let the equation of the line be y = mx + c

The Y intercept, c = 3 (Given)

Putting (4, 11) in the equation y = mx + c, we get

11 = 4m + 3

4m = 11 – 3 = 8

m = 2

The slope of the given line is 2.
