Slope and Y Intercept

Question

Graph each equation using the slope and y intercept

Y=mx+b

 

y= -x+2

 

Would Y=2?

Answer 1

Hi Conny;

y= -x+2

The equation is in the format of...

y=mx+b

m is the slope.

b is the y-intercept, the value of y when x=0.

The slope is -1, the line will rise 1 unit while moving to the left 1 unit, and it will decline 1 unit while moving to the right 1 unit.

The y intercept is 2, corresponding to the point of (0,2).
