y=5-2x

The equation you provided, \( y = 5 - 2x \), is a linear equation in slope-intercept form, which is typically written as \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept.

In this equation:

• The slope \( m \) is \(-2\).
• The y-intercept \( b \) is \( 5 \) (this means the line crosses the y-axis at the point \((0, 5)\)).

If you want to analyze or graph this equation, you could identify a few key points or calculate the x-intercept by setting \( y = 0 \):

1. Finding the x-intercept: \[ 0 = 5 - 2x \] Rearranging gives: \[ 2x = 5 \implies x = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5 \] So the x-intercept is at \((2.5, 0)\).

2. Plotting Points:

   • For \( x = 0 \): \( y = 5 - 2(0) = 5 \) gives the point \((0, 5)\).
   • For \( x = 1 \): \( y = 5 - 2(1) = 3 \) gives the point \((1, 3)\).
   • For \( x = -1 \): \( y = 5 - 2(-1) = 7 \) gives the point \((-1, 7)\).

3. Graphing: You can plot these points on a graph and draw a straight line through them.
