Question

What is the slope and y-intercept of this line?
y=−12x+7

Answer 1

-12

Explanation:

y = mx + b

the one being multiplied to x is the slope

Answer 2

slope: -12

y-intercept: 7

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is

y = mx + b

where m = slope, and b = y-intercept.

Your equation is

y = -12x + 7

Your equation is already in the slope-intercept form.

m = -12

b = 7

slope: -12

y-intercept: 7
