Remember from now on ,
The coefficient of x in slope-intercept form ( y = ax + b ) of the linear equations, is the slope of the line.
Thus : y = -1 ×( x ) - 2
The coefficient of x in the above function is - 1 so the slope of the above function is - 1 .
_________________________________
To find the y-intercept of any equations we have to put 0 instead of x in the equation and solve the equation to find the value of y which is the y-intercept of our equation.
y = - x - 2
put 0 instead of x
y = - 0 - 2
y = - 2
Thus the y-intercept is - 2 .
