The slope is $5$ $5$ and the $y$ $y$ intercept is $- 1$ $-1$ .

Explanation:

The form of a line equation expressed as $y = m x + b$ $y = mx + b$ is called the slope-intercept form. In this form,

$m$ $m$ is the slope, where $b$ $b$ is the $y$ $y$ -axis intercept.

The equation here is $y = 5 x - 1$ $y = 5x -1$ . Therefore,

the slope is $5$ $5$ and the $y$ $y$ intercept is $- 1$ $-1$ . To see how this works, and why this $b$ $b$ is always the $y$ $y$ intercept, simply try setting $x = 0$ $x = 0$ and you get $y = b$ $y = b$ . When $x = 0$ $x = 0$ , the point is on the $y$ $y$ axis.
