Find the slope and the y-intercept of the graph of the linear equation.
y = $- 5 - \frac{1}{2} x$

Open in App

Solution

Given the equation
$y = - 5 - \frac{1}{2} x$
$y = - \frac{1}{2} x - 5$
Given equation is in the form $y = m x + c$ where $m$ is slope and $c$ is y intercept.
Hence $S l o p e (m) = \frac{- 1}{2}$ and y-intercept $= - 5$
