Q4. - Algebra 2

Question

State the slope and y-intercept of the graph of each equation.

4. $\mathbf{y}=\mathbf{2}\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{5}$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The slope of the given line is 2 and the y-intercept of the given line is -5.

Step 1 – State the concept

The general equation of a straight line in slope-intercept form is given as $y=mx+c$, where \[m\] is the slope and $c$ is the y-intercept.

Step 2 – List the given data

The given equation of the line is $y=2x-5$.

Step 3 – Identify the slope and intercept

Given equation: $y=2x-5$

 Comparing the given equation with $y=mx+c$, $m=2$ and $c=-5$

 This implies that the slope of the given line is 2 and the y-intercept of the given line is -5.
