Question

Find the slope and y-intercept of each line:

y = 1/2x - 3/4

y = 1/2x + 3/4

y = -4x

y = -x + 5

y = x - 10

Answer 1

Hello!

The slope is the number in front of x and the y-intercept is the number next to x

1:slope is 1/2 and y intercept is (0, -3/4)

2:slope is 1/2 and y intercept is (0, 3/4)

3: slope is -4 and y intercept is (0, 0)

4: slope is -1 and y intercept is (0,5)

5: slope is 1 and y intercept is (0,-10)

Answer 2

All of the linear functions are arranged in the general form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y = 1/2x - 3/4
The slope is 1/2 and the y-intercept is -3/4

y = 1/2 + 3/4
The slope is 1/2 and the y-intercept is 3/4

y = -4x
The slope is -4 and the y-intercept is 0

y = -x + 5
The slope is -1 and the y-intercept is 5

y = x - 10
The slope is 1 and the y-intercept is -10
