Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y=-2/3-5x?

Answer 1

- 5

Explanation:

`y = - (2)/(3) - 5x \\ y = - 5x - (2)/(3) ..(1) \\ equating \:equation \: by (1) \: \\ y = mx + b \\ slope \: (m) = - 5`

Answer 2

-5

Explanation:

Your basic equation if y = mx + b

Convert your equation to the above format: y = -5x -2/3

Now you can see that your slope is -5
