$y=-1$

To determine

To find: The slope and $y\text{-intercept}$ of the equation $y=-1$.

Answer to Problem 84AYU

Solution:

$\text{Slope = 0}$; $y\text{-intercept}= -1$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The equation $y=-1$

Calculation:

The given equation represents a horizontal line ($y=b$) which is parallel to $x\text{-axis}$. The slope of the given equation is 0 and $y\text{-intercept}= -1$
