what is the slope and y-intercept of this line? y = -6x + 2
A. slope: -6, y-intercept: 2
B. slope: -3, y-intercept: 1
C. slope: 2, y-intercept: -6
D. slope: 6, y-intercept: -2

Answer 1

y = mx+c
m - slope
c- y intercept

Answer 2

coefficient of y should be 1

Answer 3

so here what is the slope? @Mavckenzie ?

Answer 4

wait what does the m stand for?

Answer 5

m is for slope

Answer 6

@Mavckenzie which part did u not understand?

Answer 7

all of it sorry, is there another way to describe the formula?

Answer 8

y=mx+c represents the equation of a line..where 'm' is just a letter used to represent the slope of the line..and 'c' is another letter used to represent the y-intercept..
i have used to terms "slope " and 'y-intercept' do u know these terms?

Answer 9

*two terms

Answer 10

@Mavckenzie ??

Answer 11

so if they are just numbers to help represent the slope and y- intercept how am I going to use them?

Answer 12

compare the given eq with the general one i have written and find m and c ..u can do so just by looking.

Answer 13

what do u get?

Answer 14

$$\Huge y=mx+c$$
$$\Huge y=–6x+2$$

Answer 15

thanks @skullpatrol ..i think now it would be easier for @Mavckenzie ..

Answer 16

m = ? and c = ?

Answer 17

i might be wrong but m and c together equals -6 yes? so do I have to just figure out what x is or do I still have to find out what m and c is?

Answer 18

how is m and c together -6?

Answer 19

u must compare the coefficient of x separately...

Answer 20

B?

Answer 21

No..try again

Answer 22

There is NOTHING to "figure out"...

Just look under the m and tell me the number

Look under the c and tell me the number.

Answer 23

look at the arrows (lines) and tell again...

Answer 24

m= ?

Answer 25

m = slope = ?

Answer 26

c = y-intercept = ?

Answer 27

do u need an example? @Mavckenzie ?

Answer 28

The "?" Means what number goes here :-)

Answer 29

wait..let me give u a similar example..
if they had given y=3x+2 i would have said m=3 and c=2..by comparing the eq.. with y=mx +c similarly for this eq what will be your m and c?

Answer 30

$$\Huge y = (slope)x+(y-intercept)$$
$$\Huge y = (m)x + c$$
$$\Huge y=(-6)x+ 2$$

Answer 31

slope = m = ? and y-intercept = c = ?

Answer 32

i'm pretty sure it is b

Answer 33

For the equation y = mx + b, m is equal to the slope and b is equal to the y-intercept.

Answer 34

Why are you sure that the slope = -3 and the y-intercept = 1 ?

Answer 35

its 1am and I already submitted my answer and I got it wrong because I was told b was wrong but it is telling me


For the equation y = mx + b, m is equal to the slope and b is equal to the y-intercept.

Answer 36

ok I already submitted my answers at this time, I know c is wrong so what do you think it is?

Answer 37

what is the slope and y-intercept of this line? y = -6x + 2 <----> y = mx + b
A. slope: -6, y-intercept: 2 <--------------------------^----^-------------^-----^
B. slope: -3, y-intercept: 1
C. slope: 2, y-intercept: -6
D. slope: 6, y-intercept: -2
