Question

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the graph of the linear equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Part 1) we have

$y=-4x-6$

This is the equation of a line in slope intercept form

therefore

The slope is m=-4

The t-intercept is b=-6

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Part 2) we have

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{3}$

This is the equation of a line in slope intercept form

therefore

The slope is m=-1/2

The t-intercept is b=-1/3
