Let's evaluate each statement regarding the linear equation \( y = 35x + 47 \).

1. **The slope of the line is 47**: This statement is **false**. The slope (m) is the coefficient of \( x \), which is 35.

2. **The equation \( 35x − y = 47 \) is equivalent to the given equation.**: To check this, we can rearrange:
\( 35x - y = 47 \) can be rewritten as:
\( y = 35x - 47 \), which is not equivalent to \( y = 35x + 47 \). This statement is **false**.

3. **The y-intercept for the line is 35**: This statement is **false**. The y-intercept (b) is the constant term in the equation when it's in slope-intercept form \( y = mx + b \). Here, \( b = 47 \).

4. **The y-intercept for the line is 47**: This statement is **true**. The y-intercept is indeed 47.

5. **The equation \( -35x + y = 47 \) is equivalent to the given equation.**: To check this, we can rearrange:
\( -35x + y = 47 \) can be rewritten as:
\( y = 35x + 47 \), which is equivalent to the given equation. This statement is **true**.

6. **The slope of the line is 35**: This statement is **true**. The slope of the line is indeed 35.

**In summary, the true statements are:**
- The y-intercept for the line is 47.
- The equation \( -35x + y = 47 \) is equivalent to the given equation.
- The slope of the line is 35.
