Chapter 8.7, Problem 14PPS

To determine

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

Answer to Problem 14PPS

Slope is $1$ and y-intercept is $5$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Equation is $y=-9x$

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

  $-x+y=5$

Rewriting the above equation as below:

  $y=x+5$

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

  $\begin{array}{l}m=1\\ c=5\end{array}$

Hence, slope is $1$ and y-intercept is $5$
