Question

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the graph of the linear equation.
y = -7x+2

Answer 1

Answer:-

`\longrightarrow \sf Slope = -7`

`\longrightarrow \sf y-intercept = 2`

Solution:-

The equation of any straight line can be written as in slope intercept form as -

`\green{ \underline { \boxed{ \sf{y=mx+c}}}}`

where,

• m is its slope
• c is its y-intercept.

`\leadsto`Comparing the equation y = -7x+2 with the standard form of the equation, we get -

• 
  `\quad`m= -7
• 
  `\quad`c= 2

Hence,

• slope of y=7x−2 is - 7
• y -intercept is 2
