Question

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

Answer 1

The slope and intercept can be read from an equation in the form `y=mx+b`

Explanation:

When you isolate `y`, the slope is given by the `m` term (the coefficient of `x`), and the `y` intercept is given by the `b` term.

Rearranging `3x+y=-2` to isolate `y`, we get

`y = -3x-2`

The slope is thus -3, and the intercept -2.
