Question

What is the slope and y-intercept in the equation y = 5x - 7?

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope: 5

y-intercept: -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is written as '$y=mx+b$', $(x,y)$ being any point on the line, $m$ its slope, and $b$ the line's y-intercept.

$y=mx+b$

$y=5x-7$

In this equation, $m=5$, and $b=-7$.

Answer 2

The slope would be -7 and the y-intercept would be 5

Substitute the x for a 0

5✖️0= 0

This leaves you with

Y=0-7

Remove the 0 since you subtract

Y= -7

Slope= 5
