Recall: \( y=m x+b . \quad m \) represents the slope and \( b \) represents the \( y \) intercept. 5) State the slope and \( y \) intercept for each straight line. a) \( y=2 x-7 \) b) \( y=-\frac{5}{8} x+3 \) 6) State the \( \mathrm{x} \) and \( \mathrm{y} \) intercepts. (Recall: \( x \) intercept \( \rightarrow y=0 \) \& \( y \) intercept \( \rightarrow x=0 \) ) a) \( y=5 x-10 \) b) \( y=-\frac{2}{3} x+6 \) 7) Graph each line using the slope, \( y \) intercept method. i.e. rearrange and solve for \( y \). a) \( 8 x+y=3 \) b) \( 2 x-3 y=15 \)
