Finding Slope and Y-Intercept from Linear Equations

What is the general form of the equation used to find the slope and y-intercept?

• y = kx + c

• y = mx^2 + b

• y = mx + b

• y = ax^2 + bx + c

In the equation y = mx + b, what does the 'b' represent?

• The x-intercept

• The y-intercept

• The slope

• The coefficient of x

What is the y-intercept of the line given by the equation y = -x + 8?

• (0, -8)

• (8, 0)

• (0, 8)

• (-8, 0)

In the equation y = mx + b, what does the 'm' represent?

• The y-intercept

• The slope

• The constant term

• The x-intercept

If the equation of a line is y = -x + 8, what is the slope?

• 8

• -1

• -8

• 1

What is the slope of a line if the coefficient of x is not explicitly written?

• 0

• 1

• -1

• It cannot be determined
