You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The equations that you are given are all in the slope-intercept form of:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "in which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Therefore, you can identify the slope and
\n" ); document.write( "the y-intercept by inspection. The slope is the number that multiplies the x in the
\n" ); document.write( "equation and the number that follows the x term is the y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Using these two rules, you can tell that in the equation:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x + 1
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "the slope (multiplier of x) is +2 and the y-intercept is +1 (the number that follows the
\n" ); document.write( "term that contains the x).
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Similarly, in the second equation:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3x - 2
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "the slope is -3 and the y-intercept is -2
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "And in the final equation:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "y = -(3/4)x + 1
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "the slope is -3/4 and the y-intercept is + 1
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps you to understand the problem \n" ); document.write( "
