Question

Y=-5x-1

Please help show me how to do it and the steps, oh and this equation is for slope however I don't understand it don't know what the steps are.

Answer 1

You would do -5x-1 you would do 5-1, but since it's negative it would just really be 5+1 so negative -6x because of you don't add the x it would mess up the number

Answer 2

first you should subtract -5-1 and u will get -6 because the negative sign will increase the number
