Question

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

Answer 1

Linear functions can be written in the form y=mx+b, where:
y is a y coordinate on the line
m is the slope of the line
x is the x coordinate on the line that corresponds with the y coordinate in the equation
b is the y-intercept of the line

So for the equation y=-10x+1:
m=-10 and b=1 so the slope of the line is -10, and the y-intercept is 1. Your answer is B.

Answer 2

The slope is –10, and the y-intercept is 1.
