y=x+5
y=0+5
y=5
this is my y-intercept .. I think ?

yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How do I find the slope ?
OpenStudy (austinl):
Slope intercept form is,
\(y=mx+b\)
where, \(m=\text{slope}\)
So, what is m in your equation?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I have no idea .
OpenStudy (anonymous):
keep in mind
x is the same as 1*x

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so is it
5=mx+5?
im so lost .
OpenStudy (austinl):
\(y=mx+b⇒y=x+5\)
\(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~y=(1)x+5\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
not following what I'm suppose to actually DO .
OpenStudy (austinl):
"m" is the slope, now looking at what I posted, what is "m"?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
umm .. *sigh* no .. :I

m=1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
mmhm .. soo
y=mx+b
my y intercept was 5 so is it
5=1x+b ?
OpenStudy (austinl):
no, b is the y intercept...
OpenStudy (austinl):
\(y=1x+5\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh okay ..
so now I'm going to ..
make that 6x ?

\(\huge{\color{red}{\text{Slope Intercept Form}}}\)
\(y=mx+b\)
\(m=\text{slope}\)
\(b=\text{y-intercept}\)
\(\Large{\color{blue}{\text{You Have}}}\)
\(y=x+5\)
\(\rightarrow m=1\)
