Question

Y = 1x+5
What is the slope and y-intercept

Answer 1

slope = 1

y-intercept = 5

Explanation:

(refer to attached graphic)

we can see that for a linear equation

y = mx + b,

m = slope

b = y-intercept

In our case

y = 1x + 5

If we compare this with the above statement, we can clearly see that

slope = m = 1

y-intercepth = b = 5
