Question

Given the equation y = 1/3x - 7, what are the slope and the y-intercept?


m = 1/3 and b = -7
m = -1/3 and b = -7
m = 1/3 and b = 7
m = -1/3 and b = 7

Answer 1

Answer:

$m=\frac{1}{3}$ and $b=-7$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope-intercept form is $y=mx+b$

so...

 and

$m=\frac{1}{3}$ and $b=-7$

Answer 2

The answer is A. m=1/3 and b=-7.

y=1/3x-7 is in slope intercept form (y=mx+b). m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.
