Question

Identify the slope and the y-intercept of the following function: y= 1/3x-9

Answer 1

Slope: 1/3x Also rise over run and the Y-intercept would be -9

Answer 2

Answer:

$m =\frac{1}{3}; b= -9$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is written in slope-intercept form.

$y=mx+b$

The letter $m$ represents the slope.

The letter $b$ represents the y-intercept.

1/3 is where m is supposed to be, so 1/3 is the slope.

-9 is where b is supposed to be, so -9 is the y-intercept.
