plz help me! Bryan was given the equation y= -5x+3. He says the rate of change is 3 and the initial value is -5. Is Bryan correct? If not, correct his error.

dude:

So general equations of lines are written as \(y=mx+b\) m is the slope b is the y-intercept (The slope is always what is next to the x)
