Question

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line.

Answer 1

Answer:

$slope:6\\y-intercept:-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the line:

$y=6x-5$

We can first refresh our memory with slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

In slope-intercept form:

$m=slope\\b=y-intercept$

With that information, using the given equation for the line, we can conclude that:

$m=6$

$b=-5$

Answer 2

Answer:

Slope m = 6

y-intercept b = -5

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

• m - slope
• b - y-intercept
