Question

directions: for each equation below, make a blue circle around the y-intercept and a red box around the slope.

1. $y=\frac{1}{2}x-3$
2. $y=-\frac{4}{3}x+6$
3. $y=3x+9$
4. $y=-2x-\frac{4}{3}$
5. $y=\frac{4}{5}x-1$
6. $y=\frac{3}{2}x+3$
7. $y=x-4$
8. $y=\frac{1}{3}x+0$
9. $y=-\frac{2}{3}x+7$
10. $y=\frac{5}{3}x-2$

in problem #4 what is the slope?
-4/3
-2x
y
-2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope-intercept form

Linear equations in slope-intercept form are written as $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope, and $b$ is the y-intercept.

Step2: Identify slope in equation 4

For equation 4: $y = -2x - \frac{4}{3}$, compare to $y=mx+b$. The coefficient of $x$ is $-2$, so this is the slope.

Answer:

-2
