Question

If a line is defined by the equation y = 5x + 2, what is the slope?

Answer 1

slope: 5/1

Explanation:

2 being the y intercept graph at (0,2)

then rise over run - up 5 over to the right 1

Answer 2

slope = 5

Explanation:

We are given a line y =5x+2

This is in the form

y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The slope is 5 and the y intercept is 2
