Question #688ae

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

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

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

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

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