Math Problem Statement
Identify the slope and y-intercept for each equation: y = (1/3)x + 6, y = -x + 18, and y = (5/8)x - 11.
Solution
The image contains three linear equations, and you are asked to identify the slope (denoted as ) and the -intercept (denoted as ) for each.
For a linear equation in the form of , is the slope, and is the -intercept.
Here are the solutions:
