What is the slope of the line y equals 5x plus 2?

Answer 1

The slope of this line is 5, because the coefficient of the x term is 5. Remember, the slope of any linear equation is min y = mx + b. Don't forget the negative sign in front, when m is negative. (It is also possible to find the slope at any point of a non-linear function, using calculus.)

Note: If this question is from work you have been assigned by a teacher or professor, I suggest you do the work yourself instead of trying to find the answers online. This will help you to better understand the material and become more familiar with it. Of course, if this question was not from homework, you can disregard this message.
