Question

What is the slope of each line?

Line A: y= -5x-2
Line B: y= 2x+3

•The slope of line A= -5
The slope of line B= 2

• The slope of line A= -2
The slope of line B= 3

• The slope of line A= 5
The slope of line B= -2

•The slope of line A= 3
The slope of line B= -2

Answer 1

Answer: The slope of line A = -5

The slope of line B = 2

Therefore, your answer is letter A.

Step-by-step explanation: The slope of a line may be found by using the equation y = mx + b, where m = the slope and b = the y-intercept (where your graph crosses the y-axis). In your above equations, we can clearly see that -5 is the coefficient of x for line A and 2 is the coefficient of x for line B. Therefore, the slope of line A is -5 and the slope of line B is 2, or answer A.

Answer 2

the slope of line A= -5

the slope of line B= 2

best of luck!
