The rate of change is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = m x + b, where

m is the slope which represents the rate of change
b is the y-intercept which represent the initial value (value y at x = 0)

∵ y = -2x - 1

- The equation in the slope-intersect form, compare it with

the form above

∴ m = -2

∴ b = -1

∵ m represents the rate of change

∴ The rate of change is -2

∵ b represents y at x = 0

∴ The y-intercept is -1

The rate of change is -2

Which line has a slope of 1, and which has a slope of 2?

aleksley [76]

Answer:

Line "L" has the slope of 1 and line "K" has the slope of 2.

In order to graph a line with the slope of $\frac{1}{3}$ think of the numerator as the "rise" (how much you move up/down on the y-intercept) and the denominator as the "run" (how much you move to the side on the x-intercept)

Step-by-step explanation:

A slope of "1" is simply $\frac{1}{1}$ so you rise up one and move to the right once. This clearly demonstrated on line "L".

A slope of "2" is $\frac{2}{1}$ so you rise up two and move to the right once, as is demonstrated on line "K".

For the 2nd question, line "A" will have a slope of $\frac{1}{3}$ therefore it will move up once and then to the side three times. It will look like the image attached to this answer.

I hope this helped! Feel free to ask questions if needed!
