You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = 5x + 2
Gradient is 5 (every 1 added to the x creates 5 in the y direction)
When x = 0, y = 2
when y = 0, x = -2/5

We start with
(i)
This is similar to
(ii)
matching up the 2 we get
slope = m = 5.

If we were to graph this, it would be a line.
vertical intercept = do you mean x-intercept?
horizontal intercept = do you mean y-intercept?

X-intercept is when y = 0. If y = 0, then

--
Y-intercept is when x = 0. If x = 0, then
