Question

The linear function ƒ(x) = 5x − 8 has a slope of:

Answer 1

5

The slope of y = 5x - 8 is 5.

Since this equation is already in slope-intercept form the slope of the graph is the coefficient of x, 5.

Explanation:

5

The slope of y = 5x - 8 is 5.

Since this equation is already in slope-intercept form the slope of the graph is the coefficient of x, 5.

Answer 2

5

Explanation:

The slope is always the number (or a variable, typically m) directly attached to the variable x.

In this case, the slope is 5.
