The equation of a line is y = -3x – 2. What are the slope and the y-intercept of the line? * -3. y-intercept = 2 slope

3. y-intercept = -2 slope
3. y-intercept = 2 slope
-3. y-intercept = -2 slope

hello!


===========================================

we're given the line's equation; it's written in slope-intercept form, which looks like so:


\pmb{y=mx+b}

where


\pmb{m} is the line's slope


\pmb{b} is the y-intercept of the line

in this case,

slope:
\pmb{-3}

y-intercept:
\pmb{-2}


=====================================

note:-

Hope everything is clear; if you need any more explanation, kindly let me know.

Answers:

Slope = -3

y intercept = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare the given equation with y = mx+b

We see that m = -3 is the slope and b = -2 is the y intercept.
