Question

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

A) -5
B) -2/3
C) 2/3
D) 5

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Answer 2

A) -5

Explanation:

Note the slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

y & x is found from having a pt. (x , y)

m = slope

b = y-intercept.

Note that to find the slope, you must find the number that is directly left of the variable, x. In this case, it is -5.

A) -5 is your answer.
