Question

Please help

Identify the slope, m, and y-intercept, b, of the equation.
y = x - 4
Identify the slope, m, and y-intercept, b, of the equation . Y=x-4 .Enter the correct values in the boxes . M=_ ; b=_ Graph the line described by the equation y=x-4

Answer 1

m = 1 (the slope is 1/1) b = -4 (the y-intercept is (0,-4))

Explanation:

First, you have to plot a point at the y-intercept (0,-4). Then go up once and to the right once (since the slope is 1/1). Keep doing this as much times as you want and connect the dots to form a line. See image below.
