Find the slope and the point containing the​ y-intercept.

Question

y=−99x−44

What is the​ slope?

Answer 1

When written in standard form of y= mx +b, m will be your slope. In this case it is -99 (or -99/1 if you want to think in terms of rise over run, same thing).

As for the point containing the y-intercept; to find the y-intercept plug 0 for x. We get a y-value of -44, therefore the point or coordinates of the y-intercept is (0, -44).

Answer 2

The slope is -99.
