Question

How do you find the slope for `y= -5x + ½?`

Answer 1

The slope, is `m=-5`

Explanation:

This equation is in the form `y = mx+c` which means that you can read the slope, `m` and the `y`-intercept, `c` from the equation.

`y = -5x+1/2`

The slope, is `m=-5`

Answer 2

look at the coefficient in front of x
slope = -5

Explanation:

The slope intercept equation is # y = mx =b

This equation is already in the y intercept form so

m = -5 Think m = mountain ski slope.

b = y intercept think beginning of the line.

Answer 3

`"slope "=-5`

Explanation:

`"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"` is.

`•color(white)(x)y=mx+b`

`"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"`

`y=-5x+1/2" is in this form"`

`"with slope "=m=-5`
