Question

What is the slope of the line y=4x – 6? A.1/4 B.-6 C.4 D.6

Answer 1

Answer:

• Slope = 4
• y-intercept = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

• $y = 4x - 6$

∴ Slope intercept form: y = mx + b                     [m = slope; b = y-intercept]

Compare both equations to determine the slope:

$\implies y = 4x - 6 \ \text{and} \ y = mx + b$

$\implies y = (4)x + (-6) \ \text{and} \ y = (m)x + (b)$

$\implies \boxed{m = \text{Slope} = 4} \ \ \boxed{b = \text{y-intercept} = -6}$
