The slope is $5$ $5$ and the y-intercept is $- 3$ $-3$

The slope intercept for of a linear equation is:

$y = m x + b$ $y = color(red)(m)x color(green)(+) color(green)(b)$

Where $m$ $color(red)(m)$ is the slope and $b$ $color(green)(b)$ is the $y$ $y$ intercept.

Therefore for this problem: $y = 5 x - 3$ $y = color(red)(5)x color(green)(-) color(green)(3)$ :

$m = 5$ $color(red)(m = 5)$ so the slope is $5$ $5$

and

$b = - 3$ $color(green)(b = -3$ so the y-intercept is $- 3$ $-3$

What is the slope and intercept of y=5x−3y = 5x-3?
