Question

y=-4-1/5x

 

 

Find the y intercept and the slope of a line

Answer 1

y = -(1/5)x - 4

 

This equation is of the form 

 

y = mx + b

 

where m is the slope and b is the y-axis intercept.  Therefore,

 

slope = m = -(1/5)

 

y-intercept = b = -4.  The coordinates of the the y-intercept are (0,b) = (0,-4).

 

 

Answer 2

Andrea, the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the t-intercept.

 

Rearrange what you have then...

 

y = -1/5x - 4

 

Your slope is -1/5 and the slope is -4.

 

Hope this helps!
