Question

What are the slope and the y-intercept of the linear function that is represented by the equation Y=-10x+1?

a. The slope is -10, and the y-intercept is -1.
b. The slope is -10, and the y-intercept is 1.
c. The slope is -1, and the y-intercept is -10.
d. The slope is 1, and the y-intercept is -10.

Answer 1

Answer: B) slope = -10, y intercept = 1

The general form is y = mx+b

m = slope

b = y intercept

Comparing y = -10x+1 to y = mx+b we see that

m = -10

b = 1

Answer 2

b. The slope is -10, and the y-intercept is 1.

Explanation:

Y = slope(x) + y-intercept
