Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y= x/3 - 5?

-5
3
1/3
-3/5

Answer 1

Slope, when given in 'y = mx + b' is always 'm'. In this instance you have x/3, or x*(1/3). So the slope would be 1/3.

Answer 2

thank you! I had one more question, it's attached in the pic

Answer 4

10x + 5y = 4
-10x -10x
= 5y = -10x + 4
(divide both sides by 5)
= Y = -2x + 4/5
Since you now have y = mx + b, and m is your slope,
M = -2
