Question

Find the slope and the y-intercept. Express the intercept as an ordered pair. Simplify your answer

Answer 1

In a stardard slope-intercept formula:

$\text{ y = mx + b}$

m = represents the slope

b = represents the y-intercept

From the given function, let's first arrange it into a standar slope-intercept form.

g(x) = 3 - 4x

g(x) = -4x + 3

We get,

m = -4

b = 3

As an ordered pair,

Slope = m = -4

Y-intercept = b = 0, 3

At y-intercept, x = 0
