Question

What is the slope of the line?

y=-5x-9





slope =

Answer 1

y = mx + b
therefore, m = -5

Answer 2

the slope of a line, it is's rate of change. If you graph the function you will observe that for each x-unit (as x increases), the y-values goes down by 5 units.

(on the other hand as x-DEcreases (by 1 unit), the y-value INcreases (by 5 units).

Answer 3

So the function keeps infinitely increasing (by 5 units down, each time it goes 1 unit to the right).

Answer 4

got it thanks

Answer 5

I just said it conceptually. The slope is -5, as it was already said before.

Answer 6

Anytime:)
