How to find the slope and y intercept of y=4-5x?

Question

Please, Please, Please explain in steps how you solved this problem.

Thanks a bunch = )

Answer 1

y=mx+b

m=slope (from french word monter - to climb)

b=y-intercept

y=-5x+4

slope = -5

y-intercept = 4

Answer 2

Formula: y = mx + b

The slope is -5x.

The y intercept is 4.

Hope this helps. =)

Answer 3

For y intercept, you make x=0, So y=4(:

Answer 4

put it in standard form  y=mx+b....y= -5x + 4

y is the y coordinate

m is the slope

x is the x coordinate

b is the y intercept

so the slope is -5 and the y intercept is 4

good luck. Don't worry it only gets harder!

Answer 5

When a linear equation is in the form

y = mx + b

then m is the slope and b is the intercept

y = 4 - 5x = -5x + 4

So the slope is -5 and the y-intercepet is 4
