Question

How do you find the slope & y-intercept of the equation `y = -2x + 3`?

Answer 1

If `y=mx+c` is an equation of line then `m` and `c` are said to be its slope and y-intercept respectively.

Here,

`y=-2x+3`
`implies y=(-2)x+3` compare `y=mx+c`

`implies m=-2 and c=3`

Hence, slope `=-2` and y-intercept`=3`
