Question

y=3x-5y= -x+7what is the slope for each equation and the y intercept of each as well

Answer 1

Given data:

The first equation is y=3x-5.

The second equation is y= -x+7.

The standard equation of the line is,

$y=mx+c$

Here, m is the slope of the line, and c is the y-intercept.

Compare the above equation with the first equation.

$\begin{gathered} m=3 \\ c=-5 \end{gathered}$

Compare the standard equation with the second equation.

$\begin{gathered} m=-1 \\ c=7 \end{gathered}$

Thus, the slope of the first line is 3, y-intercept is -5, and slope of the second line is -1, y-intercept is 7.
