Question

What is the slope of the line given by the equation below?
y = 4x-2

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

`y=mx+b`

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have
`y=4x-2`.

Therefore

the slope
`m=4`

the y-intercept
`b=-2`

Answer 2

slope: 4

Explanation:

y = 4x-2 is in the form y = mx +b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

4 is the slope and -2 is the y intercept
