Answer:
Question 9: The second answer choice: m = - 3 ; b = - 4
Question 10: the last answer choice: m = -1/2 ; b = -3
Explanation:
Question 9 )
We want to find the slope and y intercept of the equation y = -3x - 4
The equation appears to be in slope intercept for, y = mx + b
Where m = slope and b = y intercept
In the equation , -3 takes the spot of "m" meaning the the slope is -3, and -4 takes the spot of b meaning that they intercept is -4.
So m = -3 and b = -4
Question 10 )
Like question 10 we want to find the slope and y intercept of an equation
y = -1/2x - 3
Once again the equation appears to be in slope intercept form , y = mx + b
where m = slope and b = y intercept
In the equation -1/2 takes the spot of m, meaning that the slope is -1/2 and -3 takes the spot of b meaning that the y intercept is -3
So m = -1/2 and b = -3
