Question

Find the slope and y-intercept for the following equation by writing it in the form y = mx + b.
-5x+y=5
@iambatman

Answer 1

Is it y=5x+5?

Answer 2

Yeup!

Answer 3

So that's it? lol

Answer 4

Yup

Answer 5

So how to I find the y intercept? Is it 5 or -5?

Answer 6

y - intercept is 5, y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y - intercept.

Answer 7

I don't I get confused by that, probably because it's already a y in the equation lol

Answer 8

Yeah people confuse it with y, it's called that because that's where the line crosses the y - axis.

Answer 9

So, to graph it I just plot the point on (0,5) and make the line across that right?

Answer 10

y = how far up
x = how far long
m = how steep
b = where the crosses the y - axis
