Question

Identify the slope and y-intercept from the following equation.

Answer 1

slope =
`(2)/(5)` , y- intercept = - 4

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y =
`(2)/(5)` x - 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m =
`(2)/(5)` and y- intercept c = - 4

Answer 2

The slope is 2/5 and the y intercept is -4

Explanation:

The slope is always the coefficient to x
