Answer:

Slope = 3

x-intercept = 5/3 = 1.66667

y-intercept = 5/-1 = -5.00000

Step-by-step explanation: Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 5/-1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y=-5.00000

y-intercept = 5/-1 = -5.00000

When y = 0 the value of x is 5/3 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x= 1.66667

x-intercept = 5/3 = 1.66667

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line -y+3x-5 = 0 and calculate its properties
