Question 90761
Question:



Find the slope and the y-intercept.
	y = –9x – 5



Answer:


The standard slope intercept form of a line is, 


y = mx + c,     where 'm' is the slope and 'c' is the intercept.



The given equations is  y = –9x – 5 



Comparing this equation with the standard equation, you can see that, 


  m = -9 and c = -5


That is slope = -9 and intercept is -5.



Hope you found the explanation useful.
