Question

A number Y is five times the value of a number X. A lion graft in a coordinate plane represents the relationship between X and Y. What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of y is five times the value of x.  In symbols, this relationship is

$y=5x$

Compare this with the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line.

$y=mx+b$  where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The value of m is 5.  The slope is 5.
