Question

Given the equations y= 7 + 2.35x give the slope of the equation

Answer 1

The slope is 2.35.

You can rewrite the equation in slope intercept form (y= mx+b) as y=2.35x +7. This makes 2.35 “m”, or the slope. 7 is the y-intercept.

Answer 2

2.35

Explanation:

Make sure to remember that the meaning of slope is the gradient of the equation.

Hence the slope of the equation is 2.35.
