Question

Find the slope y= 4 - 5x

Answer 1

m = -5

Explanation:

Step 1 ; Arrange in slope-intercept form;

y =mx+b

`y =-5x +4`

Step 2 ; Identify slope

In y = mx+b

m = slope (co-efficient of x)

b = y-intercept

`Slope = -5`

Answer 2

This equation is written in slope-intercept form but its out of order.

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

Reorder

y = 4 - 5x

y = -5x + 4

As you can see -5 is the same place as m which means the slope.

Therefore, the slope is -5.

Best of Luck!
