Question

What is the
the slope and y-intercept

y = -6 - 3x

Answer 1

Slope=-3

Y-intercept=(0,-6)

Explanation:

First of all, you want to rearrange this in slope-intercept form. slope intercept form is y=mx+b.

In this equation, the slope is m and the y-intercept is b.

So, rearrange the equation.

You end up with y=-3x-6

So, by comparing the original formula to this question, m=-3, while b=-6. But, when writing the y-intercept, you write it as a coordinate. Since coordinates are structured (x,y), you would write the y-intercept as (0,-6).

Answer 2

The y intercept is -6

Explanation:

The y intercept is 6 because in the slope form:

y = mx + b

m = the slope

b is the y intercept
