Identify the slope of the equation:y = 5x + 2

OpenStudy (precal):

y=mx+b m is your slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5/1

OpenStudy (precal):

so you see it now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay what do i do?

OpenStudy (precal):

what number is in front of x? we call that the slope and we also, call it m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so mx is 5x and be is 2?????????/

OpenStudy (precal):

m =5 your slope is 5 b = 2 your y intercept is 2

OpenStudy (precal):

|dw:1344796204572:dw| this is what your graph looks like

OpenStudy (precal):

graph crosses at (0,2) and your slope is 5 that means it goes up 5 units and 1 unit to the right or it goes down 5 units and 1 unit to the left

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okayyy so is 2 the answer

OpenStudy (precal):

no, I have written many times that your slope is 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 5?

OpenStudy (precal):

yes
