Question

find the slope and y-intercept of the line in the given equation.
y= 6/7x - 4

Answer 1

the slope is the coefficient of x

the y-intercept is the constant

Answer 2

The slope is defined as the coefficient of the x term, which in this case is 6/7, and the y intercept is defined as the constant, which in this case is -4.

Answer 3

The slope is 6/7 (rise over run) and the y intercept is -4. Remember y=mx+b. m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Answer 4

Note that the above is only valid since the equation is of the form y = mx + b.
