Answer:

y intercept at y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that for a linear equation expressed in slope-intercept form,

y = mx + b, where

m = slope and b = y intercept

in our case, y = -2x + 1, comparing this to the general equation above, we can see that clearly slope, m = -2 and y-intercept, b occurs at y = 1

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The slope is -2 and the y intercept is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation is in slope intercept form

y =mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -2x +1

The slope is -2 and the y intercept is 1

romanna [79]

Answer:

In first equation if we put the value of x and y (x=2,y=2)than,

3x+y=8

3×x+y=8

3×2+2=8

6+2=8

8=8

in second equation the value of x=2,y=1

x2+xy=6

x2+x×y=6

4+2×1=6

4+2=6

6=6

Which equation represents a linear function?

Mila [183]

The equation y - 2 = -5(x - 2) represents a linear function ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function is any function that graphs to a straight line

(not a vertical line)

The forms of the linear equation are

y = m x + b, where m is the slope of the line which represents the function and b is the y-intercept ⇒ slope-intercept form
$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$ , where m is the slope and $(x_{1},y_{1})$ is a point lies on the line which represent the function ⇒ slope-point form
Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constant ⇒ standard form
