Question

Identify the slope shown in the linear equation below. y = - 5x + 3

Answer 1

Slope: -5 Y-intercept: 3

Explanation:

the slope intercept of a linear equation is:

y=mx+b

were m is slope. and b is the y intercept

therfore the problem is:

y=-5x+3

m=-5 so the slope is -5

b=3 so the y-intrercept is 3

Answer 2

-5

Explanation:

The slope is always in front of the x
