Question

What are the slope and the y-intercept of the linear function that is represented by the equation y=-10x+1

Answer 1

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cutoff point with the y axis

We have the following equation:

$y = -10x + 1$

So we have to:

$m = -10\\b = 1$

Answer:

$m = -10\\b = 1$

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope is $-10$ and the y-intercept is $1$.

Explanation:

This function is written in slope-intercept form, which is $y=mx+b$.  In this form, $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

In this case, $m=-10$ and $b=1$, so those are the answers to this problem.
