What is the slope and y-intercept of the line y = 5x – 2? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope-Intercept Form 1 Answer Gió Jul 12, 2015 #m=5# is the slope; #c=-2# is the y-intercept. Explanation: Your equation #y=5x-2# is in the slope-intercept form: #color(red)(y=mx+c)# where: #m=5# is the slope; #c=-2# is the y-intercept.
