Given the equation, y = 1/3 x - 4, what is the slope and the y-intercept?

1 answer:

6 0

We would base this on the formula y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

So in this equation, the slope would be 1/3 because that is the coefficient in front of the x

And the y-intercept would be -4 because that is the number that stand on its own

Hope this helps!

What is the point slope equation of the line that has a slope of -5 and goes through the points (-4,9)

pshichka [43]

The equation for the point-slope form is y - y1= m(x-x1), where m is the slope. Using the coordinates and slope given, y - 9 = -5(x-(-4)), which simplifies to
y - 9 = -5(x + 4)
