What is the slope and y-intercept of the line y=-5x+2?

The is ##5##

The ##y##-intercept is ##(0,2)##

This is the slope-intercept form of a line (you can read the slope and y-intercept straight off):

##y=mx+b##

where: ##(x,y) ->## point ##m##=slope ##b##= ##y##-intercept

So in ##y= mx+b= 5x+ 2##

The slope (m) is ##5## and the y-intercept (b) is at the point ##(0, 2)## (the line intersects the y-axis when ##x=0## and ##y=2##)**
