Question

The equation of a line is written below.

y= -x - 10

the slope of the line is:______
The y-intercept of the line is:______

Answer 1

slope: -1

the formula for a line is y=mx+b. m represents the slope, and it is the coefficient connected to x. so, since in your equation there isn't one, we add a 1 in front of the x since there is only one x.

y-intercept: -10

again if we look at the formula, b represents the y-intercept.
