Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation:
5x + y = 13
-------------
rearrange it into slope-intercept form, which means solve for y.
y = -5x + 13
slope, m, = -5
y-intercept = 13
y = mx + b is the slope-intercept form. m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
It's easy.
