Question 178967: Find the slope and y-intercept and graph the following linear equation.
y=-4x+1 I have the graph for this problem, but I need to know the steps it took to get the slope and y-intercept. Can you please explain each step. Thank you

this is written in slope intercept form which is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
:
y=-4x+1
:
so m=-4( the coefficient in front of the x term) and the y intercept is 1 ,(0,1)
