Question

What are the slope and y-intercept of the graph of the given equation?
y = –4x + 2

Answer 1

\[y=mx+b\]

y represents the y coord
m represents the slope
x represents the x coord
b represents the y-intercept

So in your equation;
\[y=-4x+2\]
y represents a coord
-4 represents the slope
x represents a coord
2 represents the y-intercept

\[Slope = \frac{ -4 }{ 1}\]
\[y-intercept=2\]
