Question

Find the slope and the y- intercept of the line y=2x-6

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is 2 and the y-intercept is -6

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is unit rate or the slope of the linear equation

b is the y-intercept or initial value (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

In this problem we have

$y=2x-6$

therefore

the slope is equal to

$m=2$

and

$b=-6$

Verify

For x=0

$y=2(0)-6=-6$ ---> is ok
