Reduce the equation y + 5 = 0 to slope-intercept form,

Question:

Reduce the equation y + 5 = 0 to slope-intercept form, and hence find the slope and the y-intercept of the line.

 

Solution:

Given equation is y + 5 = 0

We can rewrite it as $y=-5$

This equation is in the slope-intercept form, i.e. it is the form of

$y=m \times x+c$, where $m$ is the slope of the line and $c$ is $y$-intercept of the line

Therefore, m = 0 and c = - 5

Conclusion: Slope is 0 and $y$-intercept is $-5$
