y = -4 What is the slope? What is the y-intercept?

Question

 i need help please

Answer 1

the equation describes a horizontal line with a y-intercept of -4.  as the line is horizontal, the slope is 0.

Answer 2

This is a horizontal line 

 

y = -4 = 0*x - 4

 

The slope is 0 and the y-intercept is -4.  

Answer 3

Hi Krista--

 

There's not enough information in what you posted.

 

In order for there to be a slope, there needs to be a line connecting two points. (One of those points can be the y intercept, the place where the line crosses the y axis.)

 

Do you have an equation? Does it look like this:

 

y = (m)x + b

 

If so, the number in place of m is the slope of the line, and the number in place of b is the y intercept (where the line crosses the y axis.)

 

I hope this helps, but post more info if you can.
