Question

Find the slope and y-intercept of the line.

y = x – 5

A. slope: –5, y-intercept: 1
B. slope: –1, y-intercept: 5
C. slope: 5, y-intercept: –1
D. slope: 1, y-intercept: –5

Answer 1

The slope of the line is 1 because x has no number in front of it. The y intercept is whatever is subtracted or added from x, which is negative 5.

So the correct answer is d) slope:1, y-int.: -5

I hope that helps!

Answer 2

D. slope:1 y-intercept: -5
