f(x)= -10x-2
Y=mX+b
slope(m)=-10
y intercept(b)=-2

Rewrite the equation as y = -10x - 2
Now, remember that our point slope formula for an equation is y = mx + b, where m = the slope and b = the y intercept.
So, here, there are no calculations necessary, the numbers are right there:
m (the slope)= -10, and
b (the y intercept) = -2.
That's all !
Good luck!

The equation is in slope-intercept form, y=mx%2Bb,
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Slope=-10
Y-intercept=-2.
