A) slope $= 0 ; y$-intercept $= 5$
B) slope $= \frac { 1 } { 5 } ; \mathrm { y }$-intercept $= 0$
C) slope $= - 5 ; \mathrm { y }$-intercept $= 0$
D) slope $= 5 ; y$-intercept $= 0$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation is in the form $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept. Here, $m = 5$ and $b = 0$, making the slope 5 and the y-intercept 0.
