Question

(06.04 LC)

What is the slope of a line of best fit if its equation is y = −2x + 3?

−2
Negative 1 over 2
1 over 3
3

Answer 1

Option (d) is correct.

Slope of given line y = 5x -4 is 5

Explanation:

Given equation of line as y = 5x - 4

We have to find the slope of given line.

For the general equation of line y = mx + c , where m is the slope of line and c is the y- intercept.

Slope of line is given by derivative the equation of line with respect to x, that is

Consider the given equation y = 5x - 4

then slope is

Thus, slope of liven line is 5 .

Also, by comparing the given equation with general equation the slope of line is 5 .

Thus, option (d) is correct.
