Answer:

Which number is the slope of the line shown by the equation?

B. 40

Which number is the y-intercept

D.75

Explanation:

The formula for the Equation of a line =

y = mx+b

where:

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Hence, interpreting the above question:

On a two-week job, a repairman works a total of 70 hours,He charges 75$ plus 40$ per hour.

x is the number of hours and y is the total fee.

Hence, the Equation we have is:

y = $40 × x + 75

y = 40x + 75

Comparing with the Equation of a line formula

= y = mx+b

Therefore:

The slope of the line = 40

The y intercept = 75
