Question

I am trying to find the slope and y intercept for
fx=5x-2
can someone please help

Answer 1

f(x) can also be written as y therefore...

\[f(x) = 5x - 2 \implies y = 5x - 2\]now...what is the coefficient of x?

Answer 2

x is the slope or gradient.

Answer 3

slope

Answer 4

@tholland what is the coefficient of x here?

Answer 5

not sure possible 4

Answer 6

coefficient means the number on the left of x

Answer 7

5

Answer 8

therefore slope = 5

now what is the constant? the one without any variables attached to it

Answer 9

2

Answer 10

therefore y-intercept is 2

Answer 11

wait..it's not 2..it's NEGATIVE 2...see how it's 5x -2
