Question

Determine the slope and y-intercept of the line. y = -6x + 8 a. Slope = 6, y-intercept is (0, 8) c. Slope = 8, y-intercept is (0, 6) b. Slope = -6, y-intercept is (0, 8) d. Slope = 8, y-intercept is (0, -6)

Answer 1

The correct answer is b. Slope = -6, y intercept is (0,8).

Explanation:

Since this is written in slope-intercept form the number in front of x or the variable m is the slope, in this case -6. And the number being added, in this case 8, is the variable b, or the y-intercept. So now you know that when the equation is written in slope-intercept form, the answer is given to you right in the equation itself! :)
