Question

How do you find the slope and intercept to graph `x=y+2`?

Answer 1

Slope is 1 ; y- intercept to graph is -2 and x-intercept is 2

Explanation:

The equation of Straight line is `y = mx +c` , where m is the slope of the line.
So slope of the line `y = x-2` is thus 1 (co-efficient of x)
when `x= 0 , y = 0-2 = -2`
So the straight line will pass through `(0,-2)`.
Therefore y -intercept of the line to graph is -2
Similarly when `y=0` ; x is equal to 2
So the straight line will pass through `(2,0)`.
Therefore x -intercept of the line to graph is 2 (answer)
