Question

Find the slope and y-intercept of the line. y = 7/5x – 3

Answer 1

To find the slope of this equation, what you need to remember is that it would be very easy, as the linear equation is in the y = mx + b form where

m = slope
b = y intercept

m = 7/5
b = -3 or (0,-3).

Answer 2

Slope is
`(7)/(5)`

y-intercept is -3

Explanation:

Given equation of line,

`y=(7)/(5)x-3`

Since, the slope intercept form of a line is y = mx + c

Where, m is the slope of the line,

By comparing,

`m = (7)/(5)`

Hence, the slope of the given line is
`(7)/(5)`

Now, for y-intercept,

x = 0,

`y=(7)/(5)(0) - 3 = -3`

Hence, the y-intercept of the line is -3.
