Question

What are the slope and the y-intercept of the linear function that is represented by the equation y = 9 x minus 2?

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope = 9

Y-intercept = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope, the easiest way is :

Slope (m) = -(x-coefficient) /(y-coefficient)

Here, the equation is y=9x-2 i.e. y-9x+2 =0

X coordinate = (-9). Y coordinate = 1

So slope = 9.

To find y intercept, look at the constant.

Here the constant is (-2) and that's the y intercept.
