What is the slope and y intercept of 2.5+1.25x

2.5+1.25×

Andrew M.

Is this supposed to be:
y = 2.5 + 1.25x
 
If so the slope is 1.25 and the y-intercept is 2.5

2.5 + 1.25x   is not a linear equation.  It's not even an equation since
there is no equal sign..
 
y = 2.5 + 1.25x  is a linear equation in slope intercept form
y = mx + b   where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

This has slope m=1.25 and y-intercept at 2.5 or the point (0, 2.5)
