Question

Y= -5x + 7

slope=m=?

y-intercept=b=?

Answer 1

Slope=m=-5/1 y-intercept=b=7

Explanation:

Slope is always the number with the variable x so in this case -5 this is rise so the slope is (-5,1) because -5 is the only number therefore x represents 1. The y-intercept is always the number being added or subtracted by the slope or the number with x. If it is shown with subtraction then the y-intercept is negative.

Answer 2

m=-5 and b=7

Explanation:

y=mx+b

so whatever is at m will be the slope and whatever at b is the y intercept
