Question

What is the slope and y intercept of the parent linear function? Is it just x and y?

Answer 1

In a parent function, the y intercept is always 0. The slope is the number that comes before x. In a case such as y = x, 1 is the slope.

Answer 2

So on my quiz it said what would the slope and y intercept be of the parent linear function. Would it be ok if put the slope would be x and the y intercept would be y??

Answer 3

I'd put what you said for the slope, but not for the y intercept. In my above example, y is not the y-intercept. I'm not sure as to how it should be worded, but the part that follows x, with plus or minus a number, is the y-intercept.
