Question

Identify the slope and intercept of the following linear equation.

y=3/7x-5
A. Slope: 3/7; intercept: 5
B. Slope: 3/7; intercept: -5
C. Slope: 5; intercept: 3/7
D. Slope: -5; intercept: 3/7

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

The slope is always the coefficient of the x value in the linear equation. And the y intercept is the constant in the equation.

Answer 2

3/7 is the slope and -5 is the y intercept

Explanation:

y=3/7x-5

The equation is written in slope intercept form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

3/7 is the slope and -5 is the y intercept
