Question

Find the slope and y-intercept of the line given below

$y=3x-5$

• A. $-3,5$
• B. $3/5,1$
• C. $3,5$
• D. $3,-5$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $3,-5$

The given equation of line is $y=3x-5$ ......... $\left(1\right)$

The general equation of line in slope-intercept form is given by $y=mx+c$, where $m$ is slope and $c$ is $y$-intercept.

Compare equation $\left(1\right)$ with general equation of line, we get

$m=3$ and $c=-5$

Hence, slope and $y-$intercept of the given line are $3$ and $-5$ respectively.
