I write each number in expanded form:
6.458 = _ + _+ _ + _

6.458 = 6 + 0.4 + 0.05 + 0.008

Each blank slot is filled with a digit from the original number. The zeros are placeholders to make sure we have the right alignment.

Step-by-step explanation:

6.458

6.000

0.400

0.050

0.008

6.458 = 6.000 + 0.400 + 0.050 + 0.008

trailing zeros can be omitted

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is

both graphs increase on their domain

neither graph has a y-intercept

the following points can be visualized easily from the graph
