Question

find slope and y intercept . y=-1/2x-5

Answer 1

for the equation
y = mx + b ,

m is the slope, and b is the y intercept. we call m,b the parameters of the equation.

Answer 2

In an equation of form : \(y = mx + c\), the coefficient of \(x\) gives you the slope of the line.. And constant term gives you \(y\)-intercept.. :)
