Math Problem Statement
Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line.
Solution
The equation provided is in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation:
In the general slope-intercept form , represents the slope and represents the y-intercept.
- Slope (): The coefficient of is , so the slope is .
- Y-intercept (): The constant term is , so the y-intercept is .
Thus:
- Slope =
- Y-intercept =
