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,

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

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.
