Question

Identify the slope and the y-intercept of y= (-1/4) x + 7Slope =*use / as the division signy-intercept =***Remember, the y-intercept should be written as a point!

Answer 1

The general form of the line is :

`y=m\cdot x+b`

Where: m is the slope and b is the y - intercept

Given the equation :

`y=-(1)/(4)x+7`

So, the slope will be :

`m=-(1)/(4)`

And :

`b=7`

y - intercept is the value of y when x = 0

so,

the point which represents y - intercept is :

`(0,7)`
