Answer:

Line A: -5

Line B: 2

Explanation:

Hello!

Slope-Intercept Form:
y = mx + b

  • y = output
  • x = input
  • m = slope
  • b = y-intercept

Line A: y=-5x-2

The slope of this is the "m" value, so that would mean it would be -5.

Line B: Y=2x+ 3

The slope of this would be 2, as it is the "m" value in the equation.
