Question

What is the slope and the y-intetercept of each problemy= -2x - 3y= -2x + 2

Answer 1

• m=-2, b=-3

,

• m=-2, b=2

Step-by-step explanation:

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

`y=mx+b\text{ where }\begin{cases}m=\text{slope} \\ b=y-\text{intercept}\end{cases}`

Part A

Given the equation:

`y=-2x-3`

• The slope, m = -2

,

• The y-intercept, b=-3

Part B

Given the equation:

`y=-2x+2`

• The slope, m = -2

,

• The y-intercept, b=2
