Question

Explain. Finding the Slope and y-Intercept In Exercises 29–34, find the slope and the y-intercept (if possible) of the line. 29.) y = 4x - 3 31.) 5x + y = 20 33.) x = 4

Answer 1

Given the equation y=4x+-3, we must find the slope and the y intercept.

Ok, the equation is in the slope-intercept formula, so it's very easy.

Here:

When the equation is in the form

y=mx+b,

we have that m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Therefore,

Slope: 4

Y-intercept: -1
