To identify the slope and y-intercept from the equation \( y - 5 = -3x \), we can rearrange it into the slope-intercept form \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept.

Starting with the equation:

\[ y - 5 = -3x \]

Add 5 to both sides:

\[ y = -3x + 5 \]

From this, we can see that:

  • Slope (\(m\)) = -3
  • y-intercept (\(b\)) = 5

Now, for the y-intercept:

b: 5

now move with m, the slope

The slope \(m\) from the equation \(y = -3x + 5\) is:

m: -3
