There is no such thing as the slope of an equation. But when the equation is graphed,
the slope of the graph at any point may be measured or calculated.
This is a linear equation, so its graph has the same slope at every point. The slope is 12.
Slope for the equation y equals 7 is zero.
If the equation is: y = -x then the slope is -1 and there is no y intercept
5
the slope is 0
In an equation in the form y = mx + b, m is the slope. Therefore, in the equation y = 54x + 5, 54 is the slope.
Slope for the equation y equals 7 is zero.
If the equation is: y = -x then the slope is -1 and there is no y intercept
The equation has no slope. The graph of the equation is a straight line with a slope of -1 .
Slope = 4
y = 0That's the equation of the x-axis.Its slope is zero.

Slope = 3
the slope is 0
This equation is in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where the coefficient of x, m, is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Thus, in the equation y = 12x + 6, the slope is 12.
In an equation in the form y = mx + b, m is the slope. Therefore, in the equation y = 54x + 5, 54 is the slope.
y = mx + b <-- (Slope Intercept equation) y = 4x - 1 <-- (Slope Intercept form)
