Question

In the equation y = 5x - 9 what is the slope and the y-intercept?

Answer 1

slope = `5` and y-intercept is `-9`

Explanation:

This equation is in the slope formula, `y=mx+b`
`m` is the slope, `b` is the y-intercept.

So for `y = 5x-9`,
`m=5` and `b=-9`

The slope is `5` and the y-intercept is `-9`
