question 46

Multiple Choice

Find the slope and y-intercept of the line.
- $$y = - \frac { 5 } { 6 } x - \frac { 1 } { 2 }$$

• A) slope \(= - \frac { 6 } { 5 } ; y\)-intercept \(= \frac { 1 } { 2 }\)
• B) slope \(= \frac { 5 } { 6 } ; y\)-intercept \(= \frac { 1 } { 2 }\)
• C) slope \(= - \frac { 1 } { 2 } ; y\)-intercept \(= - \frac { 5 } { 6 }\)
• D) slope \(= - \frac { 5 } { 6 } ; y\)-intercept \(= - \frac { 1 } { 2 }\)
