Chapter 9.5, Problem 2GP

To determine

To state the slope and the y-intercept of the graph of the equation.

Answer to Problem 2GP

The slope of the equation is $\frac{3}{4}$ and the y-intercept is $-1$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given equation is:

  $\text{y}=\frac{3}{4}\text{x}-1$

Write the equation:

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{y}=\frac{3}{4}\text{x}-1\\ \text{y}=\frac{3}{4}\text{x}+\left(-1\right)\left[\text{Write the equation in the form of y}=\text{mx}+\text{c}\right]\end{array}$

The slope of the equation is $\frac{3}{4}$ and the y-intercept is $-1$ .
