Answer;

The slope is -5

Explanation;

  • When the equation of any straight line is given or written in the form of y = mx + c ; then m is the slope of the line, and c is the y intercept.
  • Therefore, in this case we are given the equation of a line y = -5x, this equation is in the form y=mx+c, thus the slope or the gradient of that line is -5 and the y-intercept is 0.
