Question

Graph the line x=-2y-3. Find the
slope and the y-intercept.

Answer 1

the slope is
`-(1)/(2)`

the y-intercept is
`(0,-1.5)`

Explanation:

(the website i used to graph it is called desmos)

After you graph the line, the y-intercept is the point on the line where it passes through the y-axis. On this line, that point is
`(0,-1.5)`

To find the slope, an easy way would be to use "rise over run"

Find two points on the line and plug them into this equation:
`(y_(1) -y_(2) )/(x_(1) -x_(2) )`, for this i used the points
`(5,-4)` and
`(7,-5)`

`(-4+5)/(5-7) = -(1)/(2)`

so the slope is
`-(1)/(2)`
