Question

What is the slope of the line?

y+5=2(x+1)
Choose 1 answer:
A =1/5
B=5/2
C=2
D =1/2

Answer 1

The answer is C) 2

Explanation:

When we look at point-slope form, notice the location of the slope (m).

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Because the slope is the number outside of the parenthesis on the right side, we can match that with the original equation and identify which is the slope. In this case, itis 2.
