To match the given slopes and y-intercepts with the correct equations in slope-intercept form, we need to remember that the slope-intercept form of a line is given by the equation:

\[ y = mx + b \]

Where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept.

Now, let's match each set of values:

  1. Slope, m = 2, y-intercept, b = 5:

    • Equation: \( y = 2x + 5 \)
  2. Slope, m = 3, y-intercept, b = 5:

    • Equation: \( y = 3x + 5 \)
  3. Slope, m = 5, y-intercept, b = 4:

    • Equation: \( y = 5x + 4 \)

Now, we can rewrite the equations to match them with your given options:

  • y = 5x + 3 (not matching any values)
  • y = 2x + 5 (matches Slope: 2, Intercept: 5)
  • y = 5x + 2 (not matching any values)
  • y = 3x + 5 (matches Slope: 3, Intercept: 5)
  • y = 5x + 4 (matches Slope: 5, Intercept: 4)

Here’s the final match:

  • y = 2x + 5 → Slope m = 2, y-intercept b = 5
  • y = 3x + 5 → Slope m = 3, y-intercept b = 5
  • y = 5x + 4 → Slope m = 5, y-intercept b = 4
