Question

From this equation, y=12x+1, which of these are true?

the slope is 12
the x intercept is 1
the slope is 1
the y intercept is 12

Answer 1

the slope is 12

Explanation:

y=12x+1 is from the formula y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Since 12 has replaced m, it is the slope.

Since 1 has replaced b, it is the y-intercept.

"the slope is 12" is the correct answer choice.
