To identify the "slope" and "y-intercept", manipulate each of the given equation into the "slope-intercept" form of:
y = mx + b
where
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept at (0,b)
.
7x + 4y= 33
4y = -7x + 33
y = (-7/4)x + 33/4
slope is -7/4
y-intercept is at (0, 33/4)
.
y= -2x +6
this equation is already in slope-intercept form.
from inspection we have:
slope is -2
y-intercept is at (0,6)
.
Give an equation for slope 3 and y-intercept of 0
y = 3x + 0
or
y = 3x
