Question

Medal+Fanning! What is the y intercept of these 2 equations?
y = –2x + 3
y = –4x – 1

Answer 1

both is 5

Answer 2

The slope would be -2 and -4

Answer 3

Well they're in the y=mx-b format so the first one would be +3 and the second one would be -1.

Answer 4

Sorry but I'm not sure if 5 is right...
The answer choices are...

Graph the first equation which has slope = 3 and y intercept = –2; graph the second equation which has slope = –1 and y intercept = –4 and find the point of intersection of the two lines.

Graph the first equation which has slope = –3 and y intercept = 2; graph the second equation which has slope = 1 and y intercept = 4 and find the point of intersection of the two lines.

Graph the first equation which has slope = –2 and y intercept = 3; graph the second equation which has slope = –4 and y intercept = –1 and find the point of intersection of the two lines.

Answer 5

Oh, for the y intercept @Razzanide

Answer 6

Thanks @Razzanide

Answer 7

For the first one the slope=-2, y-int. 3 and for the second one slope=-4, y-int.=-1, so the answer is the third choice :3

Answer 8

Thanks soo much! I appreciate it. :)
