7. (05.03 LC)

The equation shows the relationship between x and y:

y = –5x + 8

What is the slope of the equation? (1 point)


a. –8
b. –5
c. 3
d. 8

Answer 1

It would have to be "b" because the slope is the number with the "x"

Answer 2

B because the formula is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. -5 is in the location of m meaning it would be the slope
