Given the numerical equation:

y = 2x - 5

Convert to slope-intercept form.

Explanation:

In order to convert an equation into slope-intercept form, we must represent it in a form,

y = mx + b

m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

Looking at the given equation, it can be seen that it is already represented in such form where,

m = 2

y-intercept = -5

Final answer:

y =2x - 5
