Answer:

m = -1

y-int (0, 5)

General Formulas and Concepts:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

The y-intercept is the y value when x = 0.

Another way to reword that is when the graph crosses the y-axis.

Explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

y = -x + 5

Step 2: Define parts

Slope m = -1

y-intercept = 5
