Please find the slope and y-intercept of the line: y=-9/8x - -4/5
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y-intercept
thanks, i understand the formula, i don't understand what goes where. Can you show me steps.
get it?
y=(-9/8)x + (- -4/5)
y= (m)x + (b)
got it... just needed to be pointed in the right direct. thank you
To find the slope-intercept form of a line (y = mx + b), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, we can compare the given equation (y = -9/8x - -4/5) with the slope-intercept form.
In the given equation, the coefficient of x is -9/8, which represents the slope. And the constant term -4/5 is the value of y when x = 0, hence it is the y-intercept.
Therefore, the slope (m) of the line is -9/8, and the y-intercept (b) is -4/5.
