Do not understand this? Can someone help?

Question

Need toe slope and intersection of Y= 4- 10x

Answer 1

this is formula that tell u slope and intercept

y = mx + b

where m = slope
b = y intercept
so your equation y = 4 - 10x
let's rearrange it so it looks like y = mx + b
y = -10x + 4
now we by just looking at it we know
m = -10
b = 4
so the slope is -10/1 or down ten and one unit right

then y intercept is 4

Answer 2

you can switch the 4-10x around so it becomes y= -10x+4, and if you look at the formula y=ax^2+bx+c, since c is the lone term which is also the intercept, the intercept for y= -10x+4 is 4, and the slope of the graph goes down 10 and right 1, if you use a graphic calculator and plug the equation in, you would see it

in y=ax^2+bx+c
c= y intercept
b= slope of the graph
a= if the graph has a maximum or a minimum, but can also mean where the graph descends and ascends ex. when its x^3, which you will look further into when you take precalculus

Answer 3

The slope is -10 and the y-intercept is 4.
The number that goes right in front of the x is always the slope and the other number is always the y-intercept.

Answer 4

*The equation has to be written in slope-intercept form which is, y = mx + b

First: rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form...

y = - 10x + 4

Sec: the slope is a whole number or, fraction beside the x-variable...in this case, the slope is -10

Third: the y-intercept is a whole number or, fraction after the x-variable...in this case, the y-intercept is 4

slope = - 10
y- int = 4

Answer 5

In response to James K's post above... That's true ONLY when the equation is in the slope-intercept form. (As it is in this problem.)
