y=-x+5y=−x+5
Step 1
The slope-intercept form is y=mx+by=mx+b, where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept.
y=mx+by=mx+b
Step 2
Find the values of mm and bb using the form y=mx+by=mx+b.
m=-1m=−1
b=5b=5
Step 3
The slope of the line is the value of mm, and the y-intercept is the value of bb.
Slope: -1−1
y-intercept: (0,5)(0,5)
