Question

Identify the slope and the y-intercept of the following function: y= 1/3x-9

Answer 1

Slope: 1/3x Also rise over run and the Y-intercept would be -9

Answer 2

`m =(1)/(3); b= -9`

Explanation:

The equation is written in slope-intercept form.

`y=mx+b`

The letter
`m` represents the slope.

The letter
`b` represents the y-intercept.

1/3 is where m is supposed to be, so 1/3 is the slope.

-9 is where b is supposed to be, so -9 is the y-intercept.
