Question

How do you find the slope and y intercept for `y = -2x + 3`?

Answer 1

The slope is `-2` and the `y`-intercept is at (`0,3`).

Explanation:

The "slope-intercept" form of a straight line equation is

`y = mx + b`,

where `m` is the slope and `b` is the `y`-intercept.

Your equation is

`y = -2x +3`

If we compare the two equations, we see that `m = -2` and `b = 3`.

So the slope is `-2` and the `y`-intercept is at (`0,3`).
