Question

Match each of the following equations according to there slope and y intercept.

Answer 1

y=3x goes with m=3, b=0

y=7 goes with m=0, b=7

y=-3x+4 goes with m=-3, b=4

y=1.5x-7 goes with m=1.5, b=-7

y=-1.5x-4 goes with m=-1.5, b=-4

Explanation:

The b represents the y- intercept in a graph (where the line crosses the y axis). The m represents the slope of the line. You can find the slope by taking the rise of the graph and dividing it by the run (rise/run). If you get the numbers in the equation form y=mx+b, then you just take the information they give you out of the equation.

Answer 2

using the equation of the line y = mx + b

m= slope

b = y intercept

y= - 1.5x - 4 m = -1.5 b = -4

y = -3x + 4 m = -3 b = 4

y = 3x m = 3 b = 0

y = 1.5x - 7 m = 1.5 b = -7

y = 7 m = 0 b = 7

Hope this helps.
