Question

How do you find the slope and y intercept for `y=-7x+4`?

Answer 1

slope = -7, y-intercept (0, 4)

Explanation:

`y = mx + b`
so m is the slope that is -7 in the equation `y = -7x + 4`

To find y-intercept, let x = 0

`y = -7(0) + 4 = 4`
(0, 4) is the y-intercept

Answer 2

`"slope "=-7," y-intercept "=4`

Explanation:

`"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"` is.

`•color(white)(x)y=mx+b`

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

`y=-7x+4" is in this form"`

`"with slope "=m=-7" and y-intercept "=b=4`
