Question

Use the rule y = -2x + 5 to answer the questions below.
a. What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

The slope is -2.

Explanation:

I hope this helps! :)
The formula is y=mx+b, where m (in the place of -2) is the slope.

Answer 2

-2

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, in which:

y = (x , y)

m = slope

x = (x , y)

b = y-intercept

~

Note the numbers that replace the given variables:

y = mx + b ; y = -2x + 5

y = y

m = slope = -2

x = x

b = y-intercept = 5

-2 is your answer for slope.
