Question
Identify the slope and y intercept of the equation of the line: y = -1/3x + 1
- Slope: 1/3; y-intercept: 1
- Slope: 1/3; y-intercept: -1
- Slope: -1/3; y-intercept: 1
- Slope: -1/3; y-intercept: 0
Hint:
the Equation of line be y = mx + c .
slope of line is m and intercept is b .
The correct answer is: Slope: -1/3; y-intercept: 1
The slope-intercept form is y=mx +b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
In y = -1/3x + 1,
Step 1 :
m = -1/3
So , the slope is -1/3
step 2 : y intercept
b = 1
So , the y intercept is 1 .
So , slope = -1/3 and intercept = 1 .
slope is the x's coefficient and intercept is constant part.
