Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = –y equals negative StartFraction 2 Over 3 EndFraction minus 5 x. – 5x?

Answer 1

-5

Explanation:

Answer 2

The slope is
`m=-5`

Explanation:

we know that

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to

`y=mx+b`

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

In this problem we have

`y=-(2)/(3)-5x`

Rewrite

`y=-5x-(2)/(3)`

This is the equation of a line in slope intercept form

The slope is
`m=-5`

The y-intercept is
`b=-(2)/(3)`
