the equation y=17x-90. describes the amount of money a class of students might earn from candy bar sales. What are the slope and y-intercept of this line?

so my answer is

slope is 17
and
y-intercept is: -90

yes

Yes, you are correct. The equation y = 17x - 90 is in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.

In this equation, the coefficient of x is 17, which represents the slope of the line. Therefore, the slope of the line is 17.

The term -90 is the constant term in the equation, which represents the y-intercept. Hence, the y-intercept of the line is -90.

So, your answer is indeed correct. The slope is 17, and the y-intercept is -90.
