Answer:

slope = - 32 , y- intercept = 5

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 32x + 5 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 32 and y- intercept c = 5

We have the equation
\boldsymbol{\sf y=-32x+5}.

We need to know its slope and y-intercept.

If an equation has the y=mx+c form, the slope is always

multiplied by x, the x co-ordinate. Such is the case here,

thereupon we note that the slope is
\boldsymbol{\sf{-32}}.

As for the y-intercept, that's a constant. Do you remember

that constants have no variables attached to them?

Since the only number that has no variables attached to it is

5, we note that this is the desired value, the y-intercept.

done!!
