Question

Find the slope and y-intercept of the line.

y = x – 5

Answer 1

Let's take a look at the "point-slop" formula of a line:
\[y=mx+b\]
Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-interception.
So, looking at the equation you just posted:
\[y=x-5\]
it has the same form.
so we can easily see the slope and the y interception.

Answer 2

slope: 1, y-intercept: –5
