Question 9 • Initial Credit_Technical College Mathematics_2027

What are the slope and the y -intercept of the linear function that is represented by the equation y is equal to negative 10 x plus 1 ?

Answer

A

The slope is 1 , and the y -intercept is negative 10 .

B

The slope is negative 10 , and the y -intercept is 1 .

C

The slope is negative 1 , and the y -intercept is negative 10 .

D

The slope is negative 10 , and the y -intercept is negative 1 .

Explanation

The equation is y = -10x + 1, which matches slope-intercept form y = mx + b. The coefficient of x is the slope, so the slope is -10, and the constant term is the y-intercept, so it is 1. Therefore, the correct choice is B: the slope is negative 10, and the y-intercept is 1.
