Question

What is the slope of the following equation?
y = x + 5

Answer 1

The slope of y = mx+b is m


We can see from y = x+5 or y = 1x+5 that m = 1


So the slope is 1

Answer 2

wow thanks, such a simple thing

Answer 3

np, glad to help out

Answer 4

What is the slope of the line given by the following equation?
y = -5x - 6

Answer 5

The slope of y = mx+b is m


We can see from y = -5x-6 that m = -5


So the slope is -5

Answer 6

ooo ok i got it now

Answer 7

yeah, basically look for the number sitting in front of x

Answer 8

so, if its the Y it would be the second digit?

Answer 9
