What are the slope and y-intercept of the graph of y = - 1/3x + 1?

A. slope: - 1/3; y-intercept: 1

B. slope: 1/3; y - intercept: - 1

C. slope: 1; y-intercept; - 1/3

D. slope: 1/3; y-intercept: 1

A. slope = - 1/3; y-intercept = 1

Explanation:

The equation for a straight line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Your equation is y = - 1/3x + 1.

If we compare like terms, we see that the slope m = - 1/3.

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0.

y = - 1/3 (0) + 1

y = 1

Slope is the number or fraction that is mutiplying the x, and the y-intercept is the other number.

The answer should be A
