Math slope equation please help!

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-04-13] [Hit: ]
function.Write any eq.m will be the slope.Therefore in ur eq.......
y = -3/5 x + 4
How do i find the slope? and how do i find the y intercept?
I have a test tomorrow and I need an answer soon, so please help!

-
y = -3/5 x + 4

The formula of a slope is:

y = mx + b

m = slope

The slope is -3/5

To find the y intercept, set x equal to zero.

y = -3/5 x + 4

y = -3/5 (0) + 4

y = 4

The answer is 4

Just recall the general equation for any straight line aka linear, function.

y = mx + c
where m = slope; c = y-intercept

Comparing your given equation with this one shows that

slope = (-3/5) and y-intercept = +4

-
To find slope
Write any eq. In the form y = mx + c
m will be the slope.
To get y-intercept put x = 0
y = c
Therefore in ur eq.
Slope = -3/5
y-intercept = 4

-
Slope=-3/5
y-intercept=4
