Question

Select the correct answer.

The equation of a line is y = -3x – 2. What are the slope and the y-intercept of the line?
Question 9 options:

slope = -3 and y-intercept = 2

slope = 3 and y-intercept = -2

slope = 3 and y-intercept = 2

slope = -3 and y-intercept = -2

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

The formula for y=

y=(slope)x-(y intercept).

So, we are given -3 and -2 in the places-

y=(slope)-3x-(y intercept)-2

So, the answer is -3 and -2.
