Question

Directions: Identify the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the graph of each equation


y = -4x - 12

m=
b=

Answer 1

Answer:

m = -4, b = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

m is slope and it is the coefficient of x

b is the y intercept

Answer 2

Answer:

m = -4

b = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

y = (x , y)

m = slope

x = (x , y)

b = y-intercept.

Note the placement of each of the variables, and compare it to the given equation:

$y = mx + b\\y = -4x - 12$

m = -4

b = -12

*Remember to always bring the sign with the given term.
