Question

State the slope and y-intercept for the graph of 3x + y = -2

Answer 1

rewrite as y = -3x - 2

can you find slope and y-intercept now?

Answer 2

y = -3x -2
m = -3
and c (y intercept) = -2.

Answer 3

y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept.

Answer 4

The standard form of the equation of a straight line is y = mx +b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. We need to rearrange 3x + y = -2 to the standard form.
First subtract 3x from both sides to get y = -3x - 2
Now can you find the values for m and b?
