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

Answer 1

Slope (gradient) = 1
Y intercept = (0,-2)

The number before the "x" in this equation's format, which is a 1, simply indicates the line's slope, or as it is more appropriately called, "gradient".

Put into the equation x = 0 to find the y-intercept for and line.

Hence, we obtain: y = x - 2 y = 0 - 2 y = -2.

As a result, the intercept's point is (0,-2).

The "cheats" method for doing this is to set the x value to always be 0 and the y value to always be the total of the additions and subtractions made to the original equation after the x, in this case -2.

To find the slope and y-intercept of the equation y = x - 2, you can directly compare it to the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept. So, in the equation y = x - 2, the slope (m) is 1 and the y-intercept (b) is -2.

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.
