How do I find the slope and y-intercept of each equation?

1. \(Y = 2x + 1\)

2. \(Y = \frac{1}{3}x - 3\)

3. \(Y = -2x + 1\)

4. \(-2x + 5y = 10\)

5. \(4x - 2y - 5 = 0\)

6. \(Y = -4x - 3\)

7. \(3x - 5y = 20\)

To find the slope and y-intercept of various linear equations, we can rearrange them into the form y = m x + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Each equation has been analyzed to reveal these key values. Understanding this relationship is crucial when working with linear equations in mathematics.
