Question

identify the slope and intercept of the linear equation y=1/5x-6

Answer 1

Equation : y = 1/5x - 6

Given the general formula : 

$\boxed {\boxed {\text {y = mx + b}}}$
m being the slope and b being the y-intercept

Matching the formula against the equation y = 1/5x - 6
⇒ slope = 1/5
⇒ y-intercept = -6
