y=-7/10x-10/7
find the slope and y-intercept can someone please hlp, and explain how you came up with the answer
Ooh, ok!
The form of this linear equation is called slope-intercept form, because you can easily find the slope and y-intercept just by looking at it.
Slope-intercept form:
y=mx+b
m stands for the slope, and b stands for the y-intercept (when x=0)
So, your slope is the number before x, which is -7/10.
Your y-intercept is b (the coefficient at the end), which is -10/7 in this case.
Hope that helps!!:)
thank you.
To find the slope and y-intercept of the equation y = (-7/10)x - (10/7), we can use the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, which is y = mx + b.
In this equation, "m" represents the slope, and "b" represents the y-intercept.
Looking at the given equation, we can see that the coefficient of "x" is -7/10, which means the slope of the line is -7/10.
Similarly, the constant term, -10/7, represents the y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
So, the slope of the line is -7/10 and the y-intercept is -10/7.
