Question

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the graph of the linear equation y=5/4x-7. The slope is ?, and the y-intercept is ?.

Answer 1

Answer:

5/4 slope

-7 y intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the number in front of the x. The number in front of the x is 5/4. The slope is 5/4

1. The y intercept is whatever is behind the x or 0 if there is no number following the x.  

2. The y intercept is also characterized by being on the same side of the equation as the x.

3. Finally it has no x in it.

In this case the y intercept is -7

Examples

y + 2 = x    2 is not the y intercept. subtract 2 from both sides. y = x - 2. Therefore -2 is the y intercept.

2y = 4x + 6                4 is not the slope. You have to divide by y = 2x+3. So 2 is the slope and 0,3 is the y intercept.
