Question

Y=-1/5x+12 What is the y-intercept? What is the slope?

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is -1/5 and the y intercept is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Y=-1/5x+12

This is in the form

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

The slope is -1/5 and the y intercept is 12

Answer 2

Answer:

-1/5 = slope

12 = y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m is always equal to the slope

b is equal to the y-intercept

which makes -1/5 the slope

and makes 12 the y-intercept
