Question

Identify the slope and y-intercept for each equation below.
y=2x-5

Answer 1

The slope is 2 and the y-intercept is -5.

Explanation:

y = mx + b : slope intercept form

where m is the slope & b is the y-intercept

Answer 2

Slope=2

y-intercept=-5

Explanation:

This equation is in the form of y=mx+b

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Therefore, the slope is 2 and the y-intercept is -5
