Question

The slope and $y-$intercept of the given line $y=-3x-5$ are

• A. $-3,5$
• B. $-3,-5$
• C. $3,5$
• D. $\frac{3}{5}$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$-3,-5$

The given equation of the line is $y=-3x-5$.

Writing it in the slope-intercept form i.e $y=mx+c$, we get

$y=(-3)x+(-5)$

$\therefore m=-3$ and $c=-5$ i.e slope $=-3$ and $y$-intercept $=-5$.
