You can put this solution on YOUR website! The equation of a line is represented by the expression y = mx + b, where:
m = the slope of a line (how steep the line is)
b = the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis)
x,y = x an y coordinates
This problem is asking you to identify the parts of the equation.
Therefore:
In y = 4x - 2 (can also be written as y = 4x + (-2))
The slope (m) = 4
The y-intercept (b) = -2
