Question

The slope-intercept equation of a line is y = -7x - 2. What are the slope and y-intercept of the line?

A. The slope is -7 and the y-intercept is (0, 2).
B. The slope is -2 and the y-intercept is (0, -7).
C. The slope is -7 and the y-intercept is (0, -2).
D. The slope is -2 and the y-intercept is (0, 7).

Answer 1

In y = mx + b form, the slope can be found in the m position and the y intercept can be found in the b position.

y = mx + b
y = -7x - 2

slope(m) = -7
y int (b) = (0,-2)

Answer 2

Thank you so much the way it was explained to me was horrible but this example helped

Answer 3

good to hear :)
