5 is the slope because it is the coefficient of x

Explanation: Linear equations can be written in the form y = mx + b where the multiplier, m, or the coefficient of the x term represents the slope of the line and b represents the y-intercept of the line.

The linear equation y = 5x - 22 has a slope equal to 5

and a y-intercept equal to -22.
