Answer:

m = -2/5

c = 5

Explanation:

  • The slope-intercept of a line is the best way to determine a line's slope and y-intercept at the same time since (as its name suggests), this form contains both the slope and y-intercept.
  • The general equation of the slope-intercept form is given by:

y = mx + b, where

  • m is the slope,
  • and b is the y-intercept.

In y = 5 - 2/5x, the intercept is simply written first and the slope comes after it.

If we rewrite it as y = -2/5x + 5, we see that the slope (m) is -2/5 and the y-intercept (c) is 5.
