Question

What is the slope of the line described by the equation below?

y = 10x + 2
A.-2
B.-10
C.2
D.10

Answer 1

This is in slope intercept form, or y=mx+b where m is slope.
m=10 in the given equation

Final answer: D

Answer 2

Answer: D.10

Explanation:

The given equation of line :

`y = 10x + 2`, which is in intercept form.

We know that the general equation of a line in intercept formis given by :-

`y=mx+c`, where m is the slope of line. ..(1)

As compare the given equation to equation (1), we get

The slope of the line described by the equation
`y = 10x + 2` = 10
