Question

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the graph of y=6x-5.

Answer 1

`slope=6\\\\y-intercept=-5`

Explanation:

The given equation is written in slope-intercept form:

`y=mx+b`

where:

• m is the slope (the change in the y values over the change in the x values)
• b is the y-intercept (where the x value is 0 and the line crosses over the y-axis)
• x and y are corresponding coordinate points that lie on the line (x,y)

Find the values:

`y=(slope)x+(y-intercept)\\\\y=6x-5`

6 is in the slope place, so the slope is 6.

5 is in the y-intercept place. Note how this number has a negative sign when the original equation says "+b". This means that the y-intercept is -5.

:Done

Answer 2

The slope is 6 and the y intercept is -5

Explanation:

y=6x-5

The equation is in slope intercept form

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

The slope is 6 and the y intercept is -5
