The equation \( y = 2x - 5 \) is already in slope-intercept form, which is generally written as:
\[
y = mx + b
\]
where:
- \( m \) is the slope of the line,
- \( b \) is the y-intercept (the point where the line crosses the y-axis).
In your equation:
- The slope \( m = 2 \),
- The y-intercept \( b = -5 \).
This means the line has a slope of 2, indicating it rises 2 units for every 1 unit it moves to the right, and it crosses the y-axis at the point (0, -5).
