In the equation $y = x + 5$ $y=x+5$ , $m = 1$ $m=1$ and $b = 5$ $b=5$ . Therefore, the slope is 1 and the y-intercept 5.

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line is:

$y = m x + b$ $y=mx+b$ , where $m$ $m$ is the slope and $b$ $b$ is the y-intercept.

In the equation $y = x + 5$ $y=x+5$ , $m = 1$ $m=1$ and $b = 5$ $b=5$ . Therefore, the slope is 1 and the y-intercept 5.
