I can identify the slope and y-intercept in an equation written in slope-intercept form.
- 1
The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is directly related to the slope and y-intercept of the line.
- 2
In the equation y = mx + b, the variable 'm' represents the slope of the line, and 'b' represents the y-intercept.
- 3
When an equation is written as y = -x, the slope is -1 and if there is no constant being added, the y-intercept is 0.
