Hi!


\spadesuit We're given an equation in slope-intercept form:


\clubsuit~~~\Large\boldsymbol{y=mx+b} ~~~\clubsuit

Where:


\diamondsuit~~~\large\boldsymbol{m- > slope}


\diamondsuit~~\large\boldsymbol{b- > y-intercept}

Notes:

  • Please remember that the slope is the coefficient of x (the number that comes just before x; in 5x, the coefficient of x is 5), and the y-intercept is added to or subtracted from the slope.

Therefore,


\stackrel{\heartsuit}{\boxed{\boxed{\textsc{Answers:}\begin{cases}\bold{Slope:5}\\\bold{12}\end{cases}}}}

Cheers!!

I hope that the explanation helped you out! :D

If you need any explanation or clarification, please let me know!

Answer: The slope = 5.

Explanation:

The equation of a line in the slope -intercept form is given by :-


y=mx+c

,where m= slope , c= y-intercept.

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of y with respect to x.

Given: Equation of line : Y= 5x+12

Here Slope (m)=5

Hence, the slope = 5.
