Question

What is the slope and y intercept of the function k(x)=7/9x-2​

Answer 1

For the given function, Slope is
`(7)/(9)` and y-intercept is -2.

Explanation:

The given function in x is :

`k(x)=(7)/(9)x-2` .....1

Since, we know that the general form of equation of a line is :

`y=mx+c` .....2

where, y is the dependent variable, x is independent variable, m is the slope and c is the y intercept of the line.

On comparing equation 1 and 2, we get :

`k(x) = y`;

`m = (7)/(9)`; and

`c=-2`;

Thus, we can conclude that

slope of function is
`(7)/(9)` and y-intercept is -2.
