Question

How do you find the slope and y-intercept for the line `y = –4x + 2`?

Answer 1

`m=-4" , y intercept is "2`

Explanation:

A linear equation in two variables can be written as
`color (blue)(y=mx+b)`

Compare this form of equation to the one given to us...

`m=-4" and " b=2`

To find y intercept, put `x=0`
`color (purple)(y=2)`
