Find the slope and y-intercept of the line represented by each of the following equations.

Step 1. The slope intercept form is given as where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept when x=0 or at point(0,b)}}}

Step 2. Comparing with , we have the slope m=3 and the y-intercept is b=5.

Step 3. ANSWER: The slope is m=3 and the y-intercept is b=5.

Here' a graph and note the slope and y-intercept. Note the slope of 3 means for every 1 one you go to the right you go 3 units up. Also, the y-intercept b=5 is at point(0,5)

I hope the above steps were helpful.
