if y=2.5x-3 what is the slope and y intercept?

The slope is 2.5, or m=2.5

The y intercept is -3, or b= -3

This is because this formula is in slope-intercept form which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

y=2.5x-3 Is in slop intercept form

slope intercept form is y=mx+b

M = slope and B = y-int.

slope= 2.5 y intercept=-3

y=mx+b

M=SLOPE, B=Y-INTERCEPT

2.5 is the slope, -3 is the y-intercept.

When you go to graph this equation, -3 should be the starting point, then from -3 you would go up 2.5, over 1 (since the slope is the rise over run, there is an understood 1 as the denominator).

Hope this helps.

Slope = 2.5 (always infront of x)

y Intercept = -3 (always the constant)

the y intercept is where x=0. so if you put in zero for x, u get y=-3. if the equation they give u is in y=mx+b form, like this one is the "+b" is always your y-intercept, and the "m" is always your slope. so in this case your slope is 2.5.

slope form equation: y=mx+b

where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

so in y=2.5x-3, the slope (m) = 2.5 and the y-int.= -3

SLOPE (M) = 2.5

Y-INTERCEPT = -3

Slope is 2.5

Y intercept is -3.

The general equation of a line is y=mx+b

m is the slope, b is the y-intercept.

In this case, follow the formula y=mx+b

m= the slope, which is 2.5

b= the y-intercept, which is -3, not positive 3.

If you're going to graph it, you're going to graph your first point at -3.

the y intercept is the number that isnt being multiplied to anything, which in this case is 3.

the slope is the number multiplied to x, which is 2.5
