Question
Find the ‘b' in the linear equation y= 5x – 6.
- 6
- 5
- y
- -6
Hint:
in y = mx + b
b is the intercept .
The correct answer is: -6
Given y = 5x-6
b = ? ,
Step 1 : The slope-intercept form is y=mx +b, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Step 2 : In y=5x-6,
the intercept is -6
So , b = -6 .
b , is the constant part .
