Question

1. Find the slope and the y-intercept of each equation.
a. y = 2x - 6
m=
b=

Answer 1

The equation y = 2x - 6 is a line in the form known as Slope-Intercept Form. This form organizes the equation so that you can easily discern the y-intercept and slope.

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b. So here, m = 2, b = -6.
