The equation of the line is in the slope-intercept form, which is given as:
\[ y = mx + b \]
where:
- \( m \) is the slope of the line,
- \( b \) is the y-intercept of the line.
From the equation \( y = 2x + 5 \):
- The slope \( m \) is \( 2 \).
- The y-intercept \( b \) is \( 5 \).
So, the slope is 2 and the y-intercept is 5.
