Question

Select the correct answer.

The equation of a line is y=-3x - 2. What are the slope and the y-intercept of the line?
A. slope = -3 and y-intercept = 2
B. slope = 3 and y-intercept = -2
C. slope = 3 and y-intercept = 2
D. slope = -3 and y-intercept = -2

Answer 1

Answer: D

Explanation:

The slope of a linear equation is the m value in the linear equation y=mx+b, in this case m=-3. The y-intercept is the b value in the linear equation y=mx+b, in this case b=-2.
