Question

How do you find the slope and intercept of `y = -7x-9`?

Answer 1

Slope -7 intercept (0,-9)

Explanation:

With the general equation `y=mx+c` `m` is the slope and `c` is the y intercept

`y=-7x-9 => m=-7 => c=-9`

Answer 2

`"slope "=-7," y-intercept "=-9`

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=-7x-9" is in this form"`

`"with slope "=-7" and y-intercept "=-9`
