Is y=-2x-1 an equation if the line for a slope is -2 and the y intercept is -1?

Question

Am I right on this or not, I'm not exactly sure

Answer 1

You're right. Absolutely.

y=mx + b is the general form of the equation, where m=slope and b=y intercept

if m=-2 and b =-2 then

y=-2x -2 is the equation with slope -2 and y intercept -2

when the equation is solved for y, then the coefficient of the x term is the slope and the constant term is the y intercept
