Answer:


(5)/(3)

~ See attatchment

Explanation:

I'm unsure what you want me to do here, so I drew a graph (using Desmos) and the slope.

The slope is given, 5/3. The slope-intercept equation is usually y = mx + b -- m being the slope and b being the y-intercept.

Hi!

Let's check if the equation that we're going to work with is in slope-intercept form.

Remember, the slope-intercept formula is:


\diamondsuit~~~\boldsymbol{y=mx+b}

Where:

  • m -> Slope
  • b -> Y-intercept

Details:


\boxed{\\\begin{minipage} {8cm}\sf{Slope = coefficient \ of \ x, \ or \ the \ number \ before \ x.}\\\sf{Y-intercept = \ a \ number \ added \ to \ or \ subtracted \ from \ the \ slope.} \end{minipage}}

Therefore:


\stackrel{\heartsuit}{\boxed{\boxed{\textsc{Slope:}\quad\boldsymbol{\displaystyle(5)/(3)}}}}

I hope I helped, have a wonderful day!

If you need any explanation or clarification, reach out to me, I'm always happy to help. :D
