What is the slope and y-intercept of the equation y = -3x + 8? Group of answer choices
Slope is -8 and y-intercept is 3
Slope is 8 and y-intercept is -3
Slope is -3 and y-intercept is -8
Slope is -3 and y-intercept is 8

Respuesta :

The form

[tex]y=mx+q[/tex]

is called slope-intercept form. In particular, the coefficient [tex]m[/tex] is the slope, and the constant [tex]q[/tex] is the y-intercept.

In your case, the coefficient of [tex]x[/tex] is [tex]-3[/tex], so that would be your slope.

And your constant term is [tex]8[/tex], so that is your y-intercept.

Answer:

Slope is -3 and y-intercept is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m is the slope and b is the y intercept :)
