The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is given by \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept.
In the given equation \( y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 5 \):
- The slope \( m = -\frac{2}{3} \).
- The y-intercept \( b = 5 \).
Now, to answer your question: b, the y-intercept: 5
You can use the Desmos graphing calculator to verify the graph of the equation. The graph will show a line with a slope of \(-\frac{2}{3}\) that crosses the y-axis at the point (0, 5).
