Question

What is the slope and y-intercept of the equation y=3/4x − 6?

A. m =3/4, b = -6

B. m = 3/4,b= 6

C. m= 6,b=3/4

D. m= -6,b=3/4

HELP MEEE

Answer 1

slope= 3/4

y-int=-6

so answer is A

Explanation:

Answer 2

The slope and y-intercept of y = 3/4x – 6 is
`(3)/(4)` and -6. Thus option A is correct

Solution:

Given that equation is
`y=(3)/(4) x-6` --- equation 1

We have to find the slope and y-intercept

Equation of a line is given as y = mx + c --- equation 2

Where m is known as the slope and c is known as the y - intercept.

Comparing equation 1 with equation 2 we get,

`m=(3)/(4) \text { and } y=-6`

Thus the slope of the line is equal to 3/4 and the y – intercept is equal to -6. Hence of the given options, option A is correct
