  • y=5

If we simplify

  • y=0x+5

Hence..

  • slope=m=0
  • y inetrcept=5

Answer:

Below!

Explanation:

Since the "y" variable is on the L.H.S, we can rewrite y = 5 in slope intercept form to determine the slope and the y-intercept.

  • ⇒ y = 5
  • ⇒ y = 0x + 5

Now, let's compare the equation of the line with the formula.

  • y = 0x + 5 and y = mx + b

Thus, we will obtain the following equations:

  • ⇒ y = y
  • m (Slope) = 0
  • ⇒ x = x
  • b (Y-intercept) = 5

============================

Thus, the slope is 0 and the y-intercept is 5. Since the slope is 0, the line will be a horizontal line that intersects the y-intercept.

In this case, the y-intercept is 5. Thus, the line will be a horizontal line, intersecting the y-intercept (5). (Refer to graph).
