Determine the slope and the y-intercept.
-$$y = - 0.125 x + 0.4$$
A) Slope $- 0.125 , \mathrm { y }$-intercept $( 0 , - 0.4 )$
B) Slope $0.4 , \mathrm { y }$-intercept $( 0 , - 0.125 )$
C) Slope $- 0.125 , \mathrm { y }$-intercept $( 0,0.4 )$
D) Slope $0.125 , \mathrm { y }$-intercept $( 0,0.4 )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given equation is in the slope-intercept form:

$$y = mx + b$$

Where the slope is represented by 'm' and the y-intercept by 'b'.

Comparing with the given equation:

$$y = -0.125x + 0.4$$

We can see that the slope is -0.125 and the y-intercept is 0.4.

Therefore, the correct answer is choice letter C.

Determine the Slope and the Y-Intercept y=−0.125x+0.4y = - 0.125 x + 0.4y=−0.125x+0.4

Determine the Slope and the Y-Intercept $y = - 0.125 x + 0.4$
