Remember the slope intercept form is,,,y=mx+b,,,with m= slope,,,b=y intercept
.
y= -5x +2,,,,has m=(-5),,,slope,,,,,,and b=(+2),,,,y intercept
.

How do you find the slope of y = -5x+2?
You're looking right at the slope.
The slope is the coefficient of x.
What number is in front of x?
The number -5, right?
The slope = -5.
Your equation is in the form y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y-intercept.
