Hey there!
In our slope-intercept equation, b is the y-intercept, where the line crosses the y-axis. In our case, that happens to be -5, because that's where the line intersects the axis.
Now, we're finding m, or the slope. The slope is defined as rise over run. We can use our slope given two points formula, y2-y1/x2-x1 to find the slope.
For our two points, we'll use the intercept: (0,-5) and the other intercept: (6,0)
Let's plug in our values:
0-(-5)/6-0 =
5/6
Therefore, 5/6 is the slope.
Hope this helps!
