Math Problem Statement

What is the slope of y = 5x - 1?

Solution

The equation provided in the image is:

y=5x1y = 5x - 1

This equation is in the slope-intercept form:

y=mx+by = mx + b

where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept.

From the given equation, the slope mm is:

m=5m = 5

So, the slope of the line is 5.

Would you like a more detailed explanation or have any further questions?

Here are 5 related questions you might find helpful:

  1. How do you find the slope in different forms of linear equations?
  2. What is the significance of the slope in a linear equation?
  3. How would you calculate the slope given two points on a line?
  4. What is the y-intercept of y=5x1y = 5x - 1, and how is it represented graphically?
  5. Can a slope be negative, and what does it signify in a line?

Tip: Always identify the equation's form (e.g., slope-intercept, point-slope, etc.) to quickly extract key components like slope and intercept.
