[tex] \boxed{\mathrm{slope = - 2 }}[/tex]
and
[tex] \boxed{ \mathrm{y \: intercept =4 }}[/tex]
[tex] \large \boxed{ \mathfrak{Step\:\: By\:\:Step\:\:Explanation}}[/tex]
Let's find the slope, using the coordinates of points (2 , 0) and (0 , 4)
- [tex] \sf{ \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1 }}[/tex]
- [tex] \dfrac{4 - 0}{0 - 2} [/tex]
- [tex] \sf{ \dfrac{4}{ - 2} }[/tex]
The y - intercept is the value of y - coordinate of the point on the line, where x - coordinate is 0 or the y - coordinate of the point where the line cuts the y - axis ~
that is y - coordinate of point (0 , 4)
