How do you find the slope and y intercept for: #x-y =4#?

1 Answer

Oct 18, 2015

#m = 1#

#b = -4#

Explanation:

First, change the form of #x - y = 4# into #y = mx + b#

#-y = -x + 4#

#y = x - 4#

#m# is the slope and #b# is the y-intercept.

it is understandable that the #x# has a coefficient of 1, so the #m# is #1#. and the y-intercept(#b#) is #-4#.
