Chapter 8.7, Problem 2CYU

To determine

To calculate: To state the slope and the y-intercept of the graph of equation

Answer to Problem 2CYU

Slope is $\frac{3}{4}$ and y-intercept is $-1$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Equation is $y=\frac{3}{4}x-1$

Formula Used:

Slope intercept form of line is $y=mx+c$ , where

  $m=$ Slope of graph of equation

  $c=$ y-intercept of graph of equation

Calculation:

Equation is given as

  $y=\frac{3}{4}x-1$

Comparing the above equation to slope intercept form of line $y=mx+c$ ,

  $\begin{array}{l}m=\frac{3}{4}\\ c=-1\end{array}$

Hence, slope is $\frac{3}{4}$ and y-intercept is $-1$
