Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = –2/3 – 5x? is it -5???

Answer 1

A?–5
B–2/3
C)2/3
D)5

Answer 2

Yes the slope is -5.

Answer 3

You are correct.

The slope-intercept form is:

\(y = \color{red}mx + b\)

where \(\color{red}{m}\) is the slope.

You have \(y = -\dfrac{2}{3} - 5x\), which can be rearranged into

\(y =\color{red}{ -5}x - \dfrac{2}{3} \)

where \(\color{red}{-5} \) is the slope.
