The slope-intercept equation of a line is y = -5x + 3. What are the slope and y-intercept of the line?

Question

Forgotten how to do this please help.

Answer 1

Y = mX + b

 

m=slope (note: sign is important.  '+' --->/,  '-' ---> \ )

b= y-intercept  (note: this occurs when x=0)

 

slope(m)=-5

Y-intercept(b)=3
