Question 228700: Find the slop and y-intercept: f(x) = -2x -5
m = ?
y = (0, ) ?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x)=-2x-5
m= coefficient of x, which is m=-2
y-intercept = constant coefficient (also where x=0!), which is y=-5.

For a complete explanation of the Graphing and Slope of a Line, please see my website. Do a "Bing" or "Google" search for my last name "Rapalje" and look for "Rapalje Homepage" near the top of the search list. On my Homepage, look for the link "Basic, Intermediate and College Algebra: One Step at a Time." Choose "Basic Algebra", and look in "Chapter 4" . I also have a FREE video explaining this topic. To see my video, go back to my Homepage, look for "Rapalje Videos in Living Color." Select Basic Algebra, and choose the video "Graphing and Slope of a Line."
