Answer:

Hey!

Your answer is 5 is the slope of the line!

Explanation:

Another word for slope is GRADIENT so in the equation y=mx+c...

the 'm' part is the slope (or GRADIENT) which here it says it is 5x

(so the +2 part of the equation is the y-intercept=where is crosses the y-axis)

*BUT WHEN ANSWERING YOU DON'T NEED TO ADD THE X*
