Question

identify the slope and y intercept of the line with the given equation

Answer 1

What equation?

Answer 2

y=-7+5x

Answer 3

Ok, so remember that this is in what's called a Slope-Intercept form. And it looks like this: y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y-intercept
So for y=-7+5x, it's just trying to trick you with switching around the (-7) and the (5x) Just switch it back around so it looks like y=mx+b.
It'll look like this: y=5x-7
Then just look at it and identify your slope (m) and your y-intercept (b)
m=5
b=-7
And that's your answer. Pretty simple. They just make it sound scary.

Answer 4

oh ok so thats it no graphing

Answer 5

Yeah. Really if all it's asking you is is to find the slope and y-intercept, that's already in the equation. If it doesn't tell you to graph, I wouldn't. Waste of time and/or effort. Hope that helps!
