Question

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y= my+b , where m is the x-intercept?

True
False

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

y= mx+b

The x intercept is when y=0

0 = mx +b

Subtract b from each side

-b = mx+b-b

-b = mx

Divide each side by m

-b/m = mx/m

-b/m =x

The x intercept is -b/m
