Question

The slope-intercept equation of a line is y=-7x-2. What are the slope and y-intercept if the line?

A. The slope is -7 and the y-intercept is (0,2).

B. The slope is -2 and the y-intercept is (0,-7).

C. The slope is -2 and the y intercept is (0,7).

D. The slope is -7 and the y-intercept is (0,-2)

Answer 1

In y = mx + b...the slope is in the m position and the y intercept is in the b position.

y = -7x - 2
slope(m) = -7
y int (b) = -2...or (0,-2)
