Question

Identify the slope and y intercept of the function y = - 8x + 1

Answer 1

`\star\mathtt{Ans.\:\#1:\:Slope:-8}`

`\star\mathtt{Ans.\:\#2:\:y\:intercept:\:1}`

Explanation:

Hi student, let me help you out.

................................................................................................................

First note that the equation we are working with is in slope intercept form. Do you remember the slope intercept form equation? It's
`\mathtt{y=mx+b}`.

In the slope intercept form equation, "m" denotes "slope" and "b" denotes "y intercept".

Looking back at our equation, let's work out the slope & y intercept.

Let's put these two equations together:

`\mathtt{y=mx+b}`

`\mathtt{y=-8x+1}`

See what I mean? The y intercept of this equation is 1 and the slope is -8.

Hope this helped you out! Ask in comments if any queries arise.
