What are the slope and y-intercept of the graph of the given equation?


y = –4x + 2

A. The slope is –4 and the y-intercept is 2.
B. The slope is –2 and the y-intercept is –4.
C. The slope is 2 and the y-intercept is –4.
D. The slope is 4 and the y-intercept is –2.

Respuesta :

The equation given is in slope-intercept form. This is the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In this case, the slope is -4 and the y-intercept is 2. The answer is A.

Answer:

The slope is -4 and the y-intercept is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation of line

[tex]y=-4x+2[/tex]

As the general equation of straight line is

[tex]y=mx+c[/tex]

where m is the slope of line and c is y-intercept

Compare given equation with above equation, we get

m=-4 and c=2

Hence, the slope is -4 and y-intercept is 2

Therefore, Option A is correct.
