Question

Identify the slope and the y-intercept of y= (-1/4) x + 7Slope =*use / as the division signy-intercept =***Remember, the y-intercept should be written as a point!

Answer 1

The general form of the line is :

$y=m\cdot x+b$

Where: m is the slope and b is the y - intercept

Given the equation :

$y=-\frac{1}{4}x+7$

So, the slope will be :

$m=-\frac{1}{4}$

And :

$b=7$

y - intercept is the value of y when x = 0

so,

the point which represents y - intercept is :

$(0,7)$
