This equation is in the form y=mx+b. For these equations, y and x appear in the equation (or other letters in their place) and m and b look like numbers. But conveniently, m (the coefficient of x) is the slope of the line and b (the constant) is the y-intercept. So your line has a y-intercept of -5.6
