Given data:

The first equation is y=3x-5.

The second equation is y= -x+7.

The standard equation of the line is,


y=mx+c

Here, m is the slope of the line, and c is the y-intercept.

Compare the above equation with the first equation.


\begin{gathered} m=3 \\ c=-5 \end{gathered}

Compare the standard equation with the second equation.


\begin{gathered} m=-1 \\ c=7 \end{gathered}

Thus, the slope of the first line is 3, y-intercept is -5, and slope of the second line is -1, y-intercept is 7.
