Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y-6 = 5(x-2)?

O A. 6
O B. 5
O C. -5
O D. 2

Answer 1

The slope is 5. For sure

Answer 2

B

Explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

y - 6 = 5(x - 2) ← is in point- slope form

with slope m = 5 → B
