Question

3. What is the slope and y-intercept of the linear equation y = -7x + 5 ? (2 points)
slope = 1/7
y-intercept = (5,0)
slope = 7
y-intercept = (5,0)
slope = -1/7
y-intercept = (0,5)
slope = -7
y-intercept = (0,5)

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = - 7, y- intercept = (0, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 7x + 5 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 7 and y- intercept c = 5 ⇒ (0, 5 )
