remember the general equation
y=mx+b
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
where
m= slope
b = y-intercept
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
@Donavan, you are asking the same question over and over and over
y = mx+b
m = slope, b = y intercept
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so whenever they ask for the slope you know that whatever the value of m, is the slope
and whatever the value of b is the y-intercept.

@donavan for example... give me the slope and the y-intercept of the equation
y= -3x+5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im checking answers and i got B so is that right
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
actually none of them are right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what are you getting
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
the answer is -6

mat be its C can that be a fraction
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@zzr0ck3r is right. if the equation given to you was y=4x+6 then B would be the right answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its B
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y-intercept is where the line passes through the y-axis. the line y=4x-6 passes through -6 not 6.

ok

are you sure the equation was 4x-6? not 4x+6?
