Question

Determine the slope and intersection with the y-axis of each graph
y=-2x-1

Answer 1

LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLES

`\mathbb{ANSWER:}`

The slope is -2 while the y-intercept is -1.

`\mathbb{EXPLANATION:}`

The slope and the intersection with the y-axis of the graph or the y-intercept is already given if you will just simply look at the equation. An equation written in y = mx + b is in slope-intercept form, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. So, the number being multiplied to x or the coefficient of x is the slope while the constant is the y-intercept.
