Question

What is the slope and y-intercept of the following equation:

= − 23 − 1

(show work pls)

Answer 1

in y=mx+b m is slope and b is y-isn’t. The slope is -2/3 because it is the coefficient to x (m=-2/3) and the y intercept is -1 (b=-1)

Answer 2

The slope is -2/3 and the y-intercept is -1.

Explanation:

In a linear equation like this, the slope is the coefficient in front of the x after the expression has been completely simplified. In this case, the slope is -2/3.

For the y-intercept, that is simple too; since it is simplified, it is just the number that comes after the x package. So, for this, the y-intercept is -1.
