Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y=-2/3-5x

Answer 1

The slope is the bit attached to the x:

In this case, it is -5.

Answer 2

we know that

the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is equal to

`y=mx+b`

where

m is the slope of the line

b is the y-intercept of the line (the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

we have

`y=-(2)/(3)-5x`

In this problem

`b=-(2)/(3) \\\\ m=-5`

therefore

the answer is

the slope of the line is equal to
`-5`
