Answer:

y-intercept = -5

slope = 2

Explanation:

Hello!

The y-intercept is always the y-coordinate when the line touches the y-axis. You can find this by plugging in 0 for x in the equation or choosing the last term in slope-intercept form.

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

  • y = output
  • x = input
  • m = slope
  • b = y - intercept

Given this info, we can see that the slope, m, is 2, from our equation of y = 2x - 5, and the y-intercept is -5
