Question

State the slope and y=-intercept for the graph of the equation y= -2x + 7

Answer 1

-2 - slope

7 - y-intercept

Explanation:

The equation is in slope-intercept form.

y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y -intercept

'-2' is in m's spot. It is the slope.

'7' is in b's spot. It is the y-intercept.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

slope = -2

y-intercept = 7

Explanation:

Slope formula: y=mx+b

In every equation that follows this formula, m is slope and b is y-intercept.
