How do you get a slope if you only have the y-intercept.

example: (0,5) and (-3, -4)

To find slope:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

With your values:
slope = (-4 - 5) / (-3 - 0) = -9/-3 = 3

I hope this will help and is what you were asking.

To find the slope when you only have the y-intercept, you need at least one other point on the line. In this case, you have two points: (0,5) and (-3,-4).

To calculate the slope, you can use the formula:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Let's plug in the values:
slope = (-4 - 5) / (-3 - 0)
slope = -9 / -3
slope = 3

So, the slope of the line passing through the points (0,5) and (-3,-4) is 3.
