Question

What is the slope and y-intercept of the equation y = -2/3x + 1Group of answer choicesSlope = 2/3; y-intercept = 0Slope = 1; y-intercept = -2/3Slope = -2; y-intercept = 3Slope = -2/3; y-intercept = 1

Answer 1

The form of the linear equation is

`y=mx+b`

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

The given equation is

`y=-(2)/(3)x+1`

Let us compare the given equation with the form above, then

`m=-(2)/(3)`

and the value of b is

`b=1`

The slope of the line is the coefficient of x

The y-intercept is the numerical term

The slope = -2/3

The y-intercept = 1

The right answer is D the last answer

In any question like that, put the equation in the form

y = m x + b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept
