Identify the correct slope and y-intercept of the equation y - 4x = -3

Question

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

solve for y to get 


y - 4x = -3


y - 4x+4x = -3+4x


y + 0x = -3+4x


y = 4x-3


now compare it to y = mx+b

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

remember that y = mx+b is the general slope intercept form where

m = slope
b = y-intercept

Identify the correct x-intercept and y-intercept of the graph of the equation 15x - 5y = 30. @jim_thompson5910

anonymous · Answer

put the equation into $$y=mx+b$$ then replace y with 0 to get your first x-intercept and then replace x with 0 to get your y-intercept

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

to find the y-intercept, plug in x = 0 and solve for y

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

to find the x-intercept, plug in y = 0 and solve for x
