slope is 1, y intercept is (0,5)

Explanation:

By using the slope intercept equation, you can see what the slope and y int is without doing any calculation

y=mx+b

m is the slope, and b is the y intercept

in your equations, the m is 1 (since there is no value visible, it is assumed to be a 1)
This means each time you move right one x value, you move up one y value

the b in your equation is a 5, so the coordinate is simply (0,5)

For the equation y=x+5, the slope is 1, and the y-intercept is 5.

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:

y=mx+b,

where:

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Therefore, for the equation y=x+5, the slope is 1, and the y-intercept is 5.
