Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line.

Question

anonymous · Answer

$$y=-1/5x+7$$

anonymous · Answer

Y=mx+b
m is the slope
b is the intercept when x=0

owlcoffee · Answer

Any line that can be written in the form $y=mx + c$ leaves in evidence two important compositions of the line:
- "m" which is the slope of the line.
- "c" being the y-interception of the line. This can be easily proven by putting a generic point $u(0,y)$ on y- axis, on the line obtaining: $$y=(0)+c$$$$y=c$$
Therefore, "c" represents the "y-interception".

as owlcoffee is saying

$$\Large y = \color{red}{m}x+\color{blue}{b}$$
$$\Large y = \color{red}{\text{(slope)}}x+\color{blue}{\text{(y-intercept)}}$$
