Question

Explain how equation y=7.5x + 50 in the example problem shows the slope and the y-intercept.

Answer 1

Slope=7.5 and y-intercept=50

Explanation:

The standard slope intercept equation of a line is given by :

`y=mx+b`

where

`m\rightarrow` Slope

`b\rightarrow` y-intercept

Comparing the given equation with the standard equation:

`y=7.5x+50`

We know that
`m=7.5` and
`b=50`

∴ Slope= 7.5 and y-intercept= 50
