Using the equation y=9x-3 state the slope and the "y" intercept?

Question

how would i do this?

Answer 1

y=mx+b, remember it and never forget it.

m stands for slope.
b stands for y inercept.

since the 9 is substituted for the m, that is the slope
and since the -3 is substituted in the b spot, that is the y intercept.

just remember those things and you will find this process sooo easy.

Answer 2

This form is called the slope intercept form... and the value associated with the x is the slope... y = mx + b, m = slope and the b = the y-intercept... so 9 is the slope and the y-intercept is -3.

Answer 3

dude,
all u gotta remember is da formular: y=mx + c
m is da gradient of da slope
and c is da value at which da slope intercepts

in this case y=9x-3 compare(y=mx + c)
m,your slope or gradient is 9,
meaning for ever 'y' u'll have an increase of 9 on da 'x' axis
example when x is 0 : y = -3
when x is 1 : y = 6

also y=9x-3 compare(y=mx + c)
c,your 'y' interCept is -3
just keep da linear equation in mind

Answer 4

It is just the negative 3. In a linear equation the term that does not have the x on it is the y intercept.

Answer 5

Use values:

x y
0 -3
3/9 0
1 6
2 15
3 24

For every x, the slope goes up by 9.
