• Apr 5, 2026 slopes and intercepts answer key punchline Problems and Their Solutions Problem 1: Find the slope and y-intercept of the line passing through \((1, 2)\) and \((3, 8)\). Solution: Calculate the slope: \[ m = \frac{8 - 2}{3 - 1} = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \] Use point \((1, 2)\) to find \(b\): \[ 2 = 3 \times 1 + b \Rightarrow 2 = 3 + b \Rightarrow By Domenica Effertz
