Question

How do you find the slope and intercept for `y= -9x`?

Answer 1

Slope is `-9`, y-intercept is `0` and x-intercept is `0`.

Explanation:

`y= -9x or y = -9x +0` ,

Comparing with general straight line equation `y=mx+c`
where `m` is slope and `c` is y-intercept, we get here slope as

`m =-9` and y-intercept as `c=0` So y-intercept is at `0,0`

To find x-intercept putting `y=0` in the equation we find `x=0` So x-intercept is also at `0,0` graph{-9x [-40, 40, -20, 20]} [Ans]
