Question

What are the slope and the y-intercept of the linear function that is represented by the equation y=9x-2?

1.)The slope is –2, and the y-intercept is 9.
2.)The slope is 2, and they y-intercept is 9.
3.)The slope is 9, and the y-intercept is –2.
4.)The slope is 9, and the y-intercept is 2.

Answer 1

Number 3. The slope is 9, and the y-intercept is -2. Remember, equation of a line: y = mx + b. The mx is the slope and the b is the y-intercept

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

The equation of line in slope intercept form is :

   y= m x +c

Where,m =Slope

c=Y intercept =Distance between origin and point where the line cuts the Y axis

The equation of line is

y= 9 x-2

Comparing with the above equation of line in slope intercept form

Slope =9

Y intercept =2

Option 4

The slope is 9, and the y-intercept is 2.
