Question

The slope-intercept equation of a line is y=-5x+3. What are the slope and y-intercept of the line

A) the slope is 3 and the y intercept is (0,5)
B) the slope if -5 and the y-intercept is (0,3)
C) the slope is -5 and the y intercept is (0,-3)
D) The slope is 3 and the y-intercept is (0,-5)

Answer 1

If you use the slope intercept form to find the slope you will get m= -5 ( m is slope)
Using a graph the y-intercept would be 3
So your answer is B)
