When you have an equation for a line and put it in the form of y = mx + b, then "m" is the slope (how fast the y value changes for every x value as you move left to right across the line), and "b" is the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis). So in this case, the slope is -1, and the y-intercept is 5.

The slope is -x or -1.. The y-intercept is 5.

slope= -1 (in front of the x)
y intercept= 5 (the 5)

This is in the form y = mx + c where m is the slope (or gradient) and c is the y intercept
So m = -1 and c = 5
slope = -1
y intercept = 5

Its in Slope-Intercept form:
y= mx+b
m= slope b=y-intercept

You would do this,y=-x+5,y=-(0)+5,y=0+5,y=5 and for x-intercept y=-x+5,(0)=-x+5,0=-x+5,add x to both sides,x=5

okay... follow this simple equation:
y=mx+b, where m= slope, and b = y-intercept.
m= -1 here because -x = -1 * x
b = 5
so slope is -1, and y intercept is 5
