y = 5x - 1 find slope and y-intercept

1 answer

The equation y = 5x - 1 is in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

In the given equation, the coefficient of x is 5, so the slope (m) is 5.

The constant term is -1, so the y-intercept (b) is -1.

Therefore, the slope is 5 and the y-intercept is -1.
