Equations in slope-intercept form follow a specific format, where m represents the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.
y= mx+ bLet's rewrite our equation a little bit so that it more closely resembles this format. This will make it easier to identify the features of the equation.
y=6x-5 ⇔ y=6x+(- 5)
The given equation is now in the slope-intercept form. Below we have highlighted the slope m and y-intercept b.
y= 6x+ (- 5)
We can see that the slope is 6 and the y-intercept is - 5.
