What is the y-intercept of the line?
y = -7x + 1
pooja195 (pooja195):
y=mx+b
b=y intercept
OpenStudy (mysticfury):
so how do i use that?
pooja195 (pooja195):
Well look at the given equation
pooja195 (pooja195):
y = -7x + 1
y=mx+b

how do i know which is m and which and b?
OpenStudy (mysticfury):
or is it always in that order?
pooja195 (pooja195):
For slope intercept form it will always be in this order you know m is the slope
its always the number next to the x
OpenStudy (mysticfury):
okay so is the answer as simple as the b = 1? cause it sure dosent seem that simple
pooja195 (pooja195):
Well it is! :)
b=1
It is simple don't over think things

so would this be 2 then
What is the slope of the line?
y = 2x - 7
pooja195 (pooja195):
Yes, correct :)
OpenStudy (mysticfury):
What is the slope, and what is the y-intercept of the line?
y = 2/3x - 4
my guess is the slope is 2/3 and the y intercept is 4? correct?
pooja195 (pooja195):
Good :)
OpenStudy (mysticfury):
alright just making sure
