Question

What is the slope and y-intercept of the linear equation y=5x-4-4145m= b=

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope, m =5, y-intercept, b =-4

Explanation:

Given the equation:

$y=5x-4$

To determine the slope and y-intercept of the linear equation, we compare the equation with the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line

$\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ m=\text{slope,b}=y-\text{intercept} \end{gathered}$

Therefore:

• Slope, m =5

,

• y-intercept, b =-4
