Question

Find the slope and the y intercept

f(x)=-9x-10

it is an ordered pair... I know that x=o
y=??

Answer 1

to find y intercept you plug x = 0
and get f(0) = -10

so (0,-10) is the y intercept

to find x intercept you replace f(x) by 0 (means y = 0)
0 = -9x - 10
9x = -10
x = -10/9

so (-10/9,0) is the x intercept

Answer 2

so (0,9) ??

Answer 3

what 0,9 ?

Answer 4

never mind i missread sorry

Answer 5

okay so what is the slope?

Answer 6

y=f(x)=-9x-10
slope=-9
y-intercept=-10

Answer 7

is the slope 9?

Answer 8

-9x

see the general line equation is : f(x) = mx + n
m - slope
n - y intercept

Answer 9

ahh thanks :)

Answer 10

no wonder i was thinking y=mx+b... blah

Answer 11

slope=-9

Answer 12

its the same

Answer 13

oh it is?

Answer 14

y = mx +b
m - slope
b - y intercept

Answer 15

wow I see how well my brain is working today...lol

Answer 16

instead of y they called it f(x)
its a way to emphasize that it is a function of x

Answer 17

@flycherrypie yes ur mind is brain is working fine
