Question

Identify the slope and y-intercept of the following linear equation: y=-5/3 x-2/3 The slope is , and the y-intercept is . The slope is -, and the y-intercept is . The slope is , and the y-intercept is -. The slope is -, and the y-intercept is -.

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope: 5/3

Y - intercept: -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the coefficient of the x term, so that is 5/3. The y - intercept is the number being added to the x term, which is -2/3.

Answer 2

For this case we have by definition, that the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It is the slope of the line

b: It is the cut point with the "y" axis

We have the following equation:

$y = - \frac {5} {3} x- \frac {2} {3}$

So we have to:

$m = - \frac {5} {3}\\b = - \frac {2} {3}$

Answer:

The slope is$- \frac {5} {3}$and the intersection with "y" is $- \frac {2} {3}$
