Question 9 • Transition Mathematics for Seniors

What are the slope and the y -intercept of the linear function that is represented by the equation y is equal to 9 x minus 2 ?

Answer
A
The slope is 9 , and the y -intercept is 2 .
B
The slope is 9 , and the y -intercept is negative 2 .
C
The slope is negative 2 , and the y -intercept is 9 .
D
The slope is 2 , and they y -intercept is 9 .

Explanation

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In y = 9x − 2, the coefficient of x is 9 and the constant term is −2, so the slope is 9 and the y-intercept is negative 2.
