Question

Find the slope of the line y= -5x -1

Answer 1

slope = - 5

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 5x - 1 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 5

Answer 2

-5

Explanation:

y=mx+b is the slope intercept formula.

m is the slope.
