How do you write the slope-intercept for of the equation which has slope of #-4# and a #y#-intercept of #1#?

Answer 1

Eli Assouline

See a solution process below:

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: #y = color(red)(m)x + color(blue)(b)#

Where #color(red)(m)# is the slope and #color(blue)(b)# is the y-intercept value.

Substituting the information from the problem gives:

#y = color(red)(-4)x + color(blue)(1)#

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
