Answer:

$\large\boxed{slope=\dfrac{1}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an eqaution of a line:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the equation of a line:

$y=\dfrac{1}{3}x+5$

Therefore

$\text{the slope}=\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\\text{y-intercept}=5$

Answer:

slope = $\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a lie in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = $\frac{1}{3}$ x + 5 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = $\frac{1}{3}$

Stells [14]

Let
x----------> the first mechanic rates
y----------> the second mechanic rates

we know that
x+y=165
15x+5y=1775

using a graph tool
see the attached figure

the solution is
x=95
y=70

the answer is

the rates of the first mechanic is 95
the rates of the second mechanic is 70
