slope
y-intercept = +4
Explanation:
The equation of a line in
#color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is
#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(a/a)color(black)(y=mx+b)color(white)(a/a)|)))#
where m represents the slope and b. the y-intercept.The advantage to having the equation in this form is that m and b can be extracted 'easily'.
#y=10/9x+4" is in this form"# By comparison with the standard equation above we obtain.
#"slope" =10/9" and y-intercept" =4#
graph{10/9x+4 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
