Answer:

The slope of the line represented by y = 5x is 5

Explanation:

The form of the linear function is y = m x + b, where

  • m is the slope of the line that represents the equation
  • b is the y-intercept (the value of y at x = 0)

To find the slope of a line from its equation compare the equation with the form of the linear function, then find the coefficient of x which is the slope of the line

∵ The equation of the line is y = 5x

→ Compare it with the form of the equation above

∵ The coefficient of x = 5

m = 5

The slope of the line represented by y = 5x is 5
