State the slope and the y-intercept for the graph of each equation. 2. y = 2x - 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For each y=mx+b equation, the slope is m and the y-intercept is b. Therefore, the slope is 2 and the y-intercept is -5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But don't I have to subtract 2x from each side? @rrrrr

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, it is already in slope intercept form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m = 2 b = (0, -5) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@rrrrr

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do I graph it? Do I plot ( 0 , -5 ) and then go to the right 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks
