Question

What is the slope of the line?

y = 6 + 9x
Question 6 options:
a) 5
b) 9
c) 6
d) 3

Answer 1

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is

y = mx + b,

where m = slope, and b = y-intercept.

Look at your equation.

y = 6 + 9x

Rewrite it as

y = 9x + 6

9 is where m goes, so the slope is 9.

Answer 2

the slope of the line is b) 9
