y-intercept =

Answer 1

please help

Answer 2

y = mx+b M=slope B=y int

Answer 3

First you would need to rearrange the equation in y = mx + b format (better known as slope - intercept form). But since this equation is already in slope-int. form, you do not have to worry about this step.

Our equation is y = 1/2x - 5

m = slope and b = y - int.

m = slope = 1/2

b = y - intercept = -5 (0, -5)
