Question

find the slope and the y-intercept of the graph of the linear equation.y=-7x+2A)slope:-1/7;y-intercept:2B)slope:1/2;y-intercept:-7C)slope:-7;y-intercept:2D)slope:2;y-intercept-7

Answer 1

If the equation of the line is y = -7x + 2

The general equation of a line is y = mx +c

where

c= y-intercept

and

m = slope

Hence comparing both equations

m = -7

and

c = 2

so slope = -7 and y-intercept = 2 option C
