Question

Which are the slope and y-intercept for the line with equation y = -2x +5 ​

Answer 1

slope = -2

y-intercept = 5

Explanation:

`y = mx + b`

where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

`y = mx + b \\ y = - 2x + 5`

Consider the coefficients.

`mx + b = - 2x + 5`

`m = - 2 \\ b = 5`

Therefore, the slope is -2 and y-intercept is 5.
