Question

Given the formula y = mx + b, what is the slope of a line, m, if x = 5, y = 7, and b =10?

A. The slope 3/5 ·
B. The slope 5/3 ·
C. The slope - 3/5 ·
D. The slope - 5/3 ·

Answer 1

The answer is:
C. The slope -3/5
Because -3/5 times 5 is -3 and when you combine -3 and 10 the answer is 7 and 7=7 (the y)
