Math Problem Statement

Find the slope and​ y-intercept of the graph of the equation. y=7x+5

Solution

The equation y=7x+5y = 7x + 5 is in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, which is written as:

y=mx+by = mx + b

Where:

  • mm is the slope.
  • bb is the yy-intercept.

From the given equation y=7x+5y = 7x + 5:

  • The slope (mm) is 77.
  • The yy-intercept (bb) is 55.

Final Answer:

  • Slope: 77
  • yy-intercept: 55 (The graph crosses the yy-axis at the point (0,5)(0, 5)).
