Identify the slope and y-intercept of the line: PLEASE HELP ME IT WOULD ME SO MUCH THANK YOU!!!!!
y =– (¾)x - 2

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • slope: -3/4
  • y-intercept: -2 . . . . or point (0, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is ...

  y = mx + b

Comparing your equation to this pattern, you can see that your equation is already in this form, with ...

  • m = -3/4
  • b = -2

In this form, the coefficient of x (which is m) is the slope of the line. Thus your slope is -3/4. The added constant (which is b) is the y-intercept, the value of y when x=0. Your y-intercept is -2. Expressed as the coordinates of a point, the y-intercept is (x, y) = (0, -2).
