Question

Stella graphs the equation y=13x – 2 . Which statement about Stella's graph is true? The slope is -2 and the y-intercept is 1/3. The slope is -2/3. The slope is 3 and the y-intercept is 2. The slope is 1/3 and the y-intercept is -2.

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is 13 and the y-intercept is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=13x-2

y=mx+b

the slope is the value in front of x : m: 13

the y-intercept is b, which is -2

Answer 2

hello!

The equation of the line is written in Slope-Intercept Form (y=mx+b, where m -> slope & b -> y-intercept)

So all we have to do is look at the equation.

The equation is:-

$\sf{y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}}x-2}$

Notice that the slope is the coefficient of x, and the y-intercept is a constant.

Hence, the slope of the line is:-

$\sf{\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}}$

And the y-intercept is:-

$\bold{-2}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Option~D~is~correct}}}$
