Question

1. Find the slope and the y-intercept
of the graph of the linear equation.
y = -7x + 2
A) slope: -3; y-intercept: 2
1
B) slope: 2; y-intercept: -7
C) slope: -7; y-intercept: 2
D) slope: 2; y-intercept: -7

Answer 1

Answer:

c) slope: -7 ; y-intercept: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

y = (x , y)

m = slope

x = (x , y)

b = y-intercept

Note in this case:

y = (-7)x + 2

y = y

m = -7

x = x

b = 2

c) slope: -7 ; y-intercept: 2 is your answer.
