Write Linear Equations using Slope & y-Intercepts

Question 9 • LVA- Mathematical Modeling - Fall

Determine the slope and y-intercept of the line.y = -6x + 8

Answer
A
Slope = 6, y-intercept is (0, 8)
B
Slope = -6, y-intercept is (0, 8)
C
Slope = 8, y-intercept is (0, 6)
D
Slope = 8, y-intercept is (0, -6)

Explanation

The equation is in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Comparing y = -6x + 8 gives a slope of -6 and a y-intercept of (0, 8). Therefore, the correct choice is “Slope = -6, y-intercept is (0, 8).”
