Use the equation to identify the slope and the y-intercept of the graph.
--5x + y = 11
A)m = 5; (0, 11)
B)m = -5; (0, 11)
C)m = -5; (0, -11)
D)m = 5; (0, -11)

Question

To find the slope (m) and y-intercept, the equation should be in the form y = mx + b. Rearranging -5x + y = 11 gives y = 5x + 11, so the slope (m) is 5, and the y-intercept is (0, 11).
