The question asks to identify the gradient (slope) and the y-intercept from the equation $y = 2x - 5$.

This equation is in the slope-intercept form of a line, which is generally written as:

$y = mx + c$

where:

• $m$ is the gradient (slope),
• $c$ is the y-intercept.

From the equation $y = 2x - 5$:

• The gradient $m$ is $2$.
• The y-intercept $c$ is $-5$.

Would you like further details on how these values were identified, or do you have any other questions?

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this:

1. How do you graph the line $y = 2x - 5$ using the gradient and y-intercept?
2. What does the gradient of a line tell you about its slope?
3. How would you find the x-intercept of the equation $y = 2x - 5$?
4. What happens to the line if the gradient is increased or decreased?
5. Can you rewrite $y = 2x - 5$ in another form, such as point-slope form?

Tip: In the slope-intercept form $y = mx + c$, the value of $m$ directly affects the steepness of the line.
