Determine the slope and the y-intercept.
-$$y = - 6.4 x - 3$$
A) Slope $- 3 , \mathrm { y }$-intercept $( 0 , - 6.4 )$
B) Slope 6.4, y-intercept $( 0 , - 3 )$
C) Slope $- 3$, y-intercept $( 0,6.4 )$
D) Slope $- 6.4 , \mathrm { y }$-intercept $( 0 , - 3 )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation is in the form $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept. Here, $m = -6.4$ and $b = -3$, making the slope $-6.4$ and the y-intercept $(0, -3)$.
