Find the Slope and y-intercept -2/3-5x

$- \frac{2}{3} - 5 x$

Step 1

Write $- \frac{2}{3} - 5 x$ as an equation.

$y = - \frac{2}{3} - 5 x$

Step 2

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Reorder $- \frac{2}{3}$ and $- 5 x$ .

$y = - 5 x - \frac{2}{3}$

Step 3

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Find the values of $m$ and $b$ using the form $y = m x + b$ .

$m = - 5$

$b = - \frac{2}{3}$

The slope of the line is the value of $m$ , and the y-intercept is the value of $b$ .

Slope: $- 5$

y-intercept: $(0, - \frac{2}{3})$

Slope: $- 5$

y-intercept: $(0, - \frac{2}{3})$
