Question

What is the slope of the equation y=1/3x +5

Answer 1

slope =
`(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

The equation of a lie in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y =
`(1)/(3)` x + 5 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m =
`(1)/(3)`

Answer 2

`\large\boxed{slope=(1)/(3)}`

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an eqaution of a line:

`y=mx+b`

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the equation of a line:

`y=(1)/(3)x+5`

Therefore

`\text{the slope}=(1)/(3)\\\\\text{y-intercept}=5`
