Question

Determine the slope and y-intercept of the line. y = 8.5x + 6

Answer 1

the slope is 8.5, the y-intercept is 6, y=mx+b was the original formula and m=slope and b=y-intercept :)

Answer 2

Answer: Slope = 8.5 and y-intercept = 6

Explanation:

The intercept form of a linear equation is given by :_

`y=mx+c`, where m( coefficinet of x ) is the slope and c (constant term) is the y-intercept.

The given equation in intercept form :
`y = 8.5x + 6`

Here , the coefficient of c = 8.5

thus , the slope = 8.5

Also, the constant term = 6

Thus, the y-intercept =6
