ok so aswell as just giving you the answer, ill explain how u get them.

So this form of an equation is called slope intercept form, which is the whole Y=mx+b form.

The slope is (m) and the y intercept is (b)

so y=(slope)x+(Y-intercept)

a. Slope = 5
Y-intercept = 9

b. Slope = 3/7
Y- intercept = ?

c. Slope = 1/6
Y- intercept = 2

d. Slope = 1 or 1/1
Y- intercept = 1

I took this stuff a while back

Answer 2

a:
slope is 5
y intercept is -9

b:
slope is -3/7
y intercept is none

c:
slope is 1/6
y intercept is 2

d:
slope is 1
y intercept is -1

Answer 3

a. slope is 5
y-intercept is -9

b. slope is -3/7
y-intercept is 0

c. slope = 1/6
y-int. is 2

d. slope is 1
y-int is -1

Answer 4

a. the slope is 5
b. the slope is 3/7
c. the slope is 1/6
d. the slope is 1

Answer 5

slope is the number in front of x.

a. 5
b. -3/7
c. 1/6
d. 1
