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 $-5$
