Question

What is the slope and y-intercept of the line y=1.4x-0.9?​

Answer 1

`\bf y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{1.4}x~~\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{-0.9}\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}c \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}`

Answer 2

The slope is 1.4 and the y-intercept is (0, -0.9).

Explanation:

y = mx + b

y = 1.4x + (-0.9)

slope: 1.4

y-intercept: (0, -0.9)
