State the gradient and y intercept of the line : y=3-5x

The equation for a line in the standard slope (or
gradient) and intercept form is :


y = mx+c, where m is the
gradient or slope measuring rate y inrement per x increment. c is the y intercept
.


So the given line y = 3-5x , or y = (-5)x+3 scould be
identifies with y = mx +c.


So m= -5 is the gradient. c = 3
is the y intercept, where the line y = 3-5x is intersecting the y
axis.
