If (y=2x+(v-4)) and (y=(v+1)x+5) have the same (y)-intercept, what is the slope of the second line?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(10\)
The y-intercept of the first line is \(v-4\), while that of the second line is \(5\). Since the y-intercepts are equal, \(v-4=5\), so \(v=9\). The slope of the second line \(y=(v+1)x+5\) is \(v+1=9+1=10\). Note that \(9\) is the value of \(v\), not the slope. Exam tip: in \(y=mx+c\), \(m\) is the slope and \(c\) is the y-intercept.
