Question

Y = -x - 2 | what is the slope and y-intercept?

Answer 1

slope is -1

y-int is -2

its in y=mx+b form

b is the int

m is the slope

Answer 2

Remember from now on ,

The coefficient of x in slope-intercept form ( y = ax + b ) of the linear equations, is the slope of the line.

Thus : y = -1 ×( x ) - 2

The coefficient of x in the above function is - 1 so the slope of the above function is - 1 .

_________________________________

To find the y-intercept of any equations we have to put 0 instead of x in the equation and solve the equation to find the value of y which is the y-intercept of our equation.

y = - x - 2

put 0 instead of x

y = - 0 - 2

y = - 2

Thus the y-intercept is - 2 .
