Question

Write the slope and y intercept of each equation:

Answer 1

Answer:

A) slope = 2, y-intercept = -6

B) slope = -4, y-intercept = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

A) y = 2x - 6

The equation for a line is y = mx + b, where m represents the slope, and b represents the y-intercept. So, to find the slope and y-intercept, all we have to do is look at the line's equation.

Here, the m is 2, so the slope is 2

The b is -6, so the y-intercept is -6

B) y = -4x + 6

Here, the m is -4, so the slope is -4

The b is 6, so the slope is 6

You would graph the equation y = 4x + 6 by plotting a point at the y-intercept of the line, which would be 6. Then, for every time you move one space to the right, you'd plot a point four spaces up to show the slope of four.
