Question

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

Answer 1

`"slope "=3," y-intercept "=-2`

Explanation:

`"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"` is.

`•color(white)(x)y=mx+b`

`"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"`

`y=3x-2" is in this form"`

`"with slope "=3" and y-intercept "=-2`

Answer 2

Shown below

Explanation:

if `y = mx + c`

Then `m` is always the slope, and `c` is always the `y - "intercept "`

`y = color(red)(3) x color(blue)( " "-2 )`

Hence in this case the slope is `color(red)(3`

Then the `y - "intercept "` is `color(blue)(-2`
