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!

Always true . Negative a is always<0 B<0 so b is negative. Negative times negative is positive > 0 so -b > -a
