Question

Select the correct answer.

The equation of a line is y = 1.5x − 2. What are its slope and y-intercept?
A.
slope = 1.5 and y-intercept = -2
B.
slope = 1.5 and y-intercept = 2
C.
slope = 2 and y-intercept = 1.5
D.
slope = -2 and y-intercept = 1.5

Answer 1

Hello. The answer is A.

Explanation:

The number before x shows the slope.

The other number shows the y intercept.

It is important that the number before y should be one and the equation should be like this:

`y = mx + h`

Here h is intercept and m is slope.

I hope you understand.
