The formula for intercept form is: y = mx + b and the slope is m. so for this question, you can first add -5x on both sides of the equation so you will have: -y = -5x + 14 but y should be positive so we can multiply both sides of the equation by -1 so you will have: y = 5x - 14 and in this equation m is 5 so the slope is 5 too :))) i hope this is helpful have a nice day
