The equation given in the image is:

$y = 5x - 4$

To determine the slope, recall that the slope of a line in the slope-intercept form $y = mx + b$ is the coefficient of $x$.

Here, the equation is already in slope-intercept form:

• $m$ (slope) = 5
• $b$ (y-intercept) = -4

Therefore, the slope of the line is 5.

1. How do you find the y-intercept from an equation in slope-intercept form?
2. What is the significance of the slope in real-world scenarios?
3. Can the slope of a vertical line be defined using this method?
4. How do you find the equation of a line if you know the slope and a point on the line?

Tip: In slope-intercept form $y = mx + b$, the slope $m$ indicates the steepness and direction of the line (positive slope = upward, negative slope = downward).
