What are the slope and the y-intercept of the linear function that is represented by the equation y=-10x+1?

A. The slope is - 10, and the y-intercept is - 1.

B. The slope is - 10, and the y-intercept is 1.

C. The slope is - 1, and the y-intercept is - 10.

D. The slope is 1, and the y-intercept is - 10.

Linear functions can be written in the form y=mx+b, where:

y is a y coordinate on the line

m is the slope of the line

x is the x coordinate on the line that corresponds with the y coordinate in the equation

b is the y-intercept of the line

So for the equation y=-10x+1:

m=-10 and b=1 so the slope of the line is - 10, and the y-intercept is 1. Your answer is B.
