Question

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

The slope is –2, and the y-intercept is 9.
The slope is 2, and they y-intercept is 9.
The slope is 9, and the y-intercept is –2.
The slope is 9, and the y-intercept is 2.

Answer 1

Slope intercept form is

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Here we have

y = 9x - 2

so a slope of 9 and y intercept of -2
