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

Answer 1

Nathan Axel

Slope -7 intercept (0,-9)

In the general equation #y=mx+c#, the y intercept is denoted by #c#, and the slope by #m#.

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

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

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

# •color(white)(x)y=mx + b#

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

#y=-7x-9" is expressed as "#."

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