Question

dentify the slope and y-intercept of the graph of the equation.

y = 3/5x + 1

Answer 1

In y = mx + b form...the slope is in the m position and the y intercept is in the b position

y = mx + b
y = (3/5)x + 1

so what number is in the m position...that is the slope
and what number is in the b position....that is your y intercept

Answer 2

So the slope is 3 and the intercept is 1?

Answer 3

you got the y intercept right.....try the slope again...it is a fraction

Answer 4

3/5

Answer 5

correct....slope is 3/5 and y int is 1
but do not forget...if the equation was :
y = -3/5x - 1.....then the slope would be -3/5 and the y int would be -1
all I am saying is do not forget the signs

Answer 6

Thanks

Answer 7

not a problem :)
