Question

A number Y is five times the value of a number X. A lion graft in a coordinate plane represents the relationship between X and Y. What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

The value of y is five times the value of x. In symbols, this relationship is

`y=5x`

Compare this with the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line.

`y=mx+b` where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The value of m is 5. The slope is 5.
