Question

F(x) = 5x - 2 what is the slope for f

Answer 1

Hi there!

FACTS :

The general equation of a slope-intercept line looks like this : y = mx + b

Where "m" is the slope of the line and "b" is the y-intercept.

STEPS TO ANSWER :

Since your equation is already in the slope-intercept form, you can easily see that the number 5 occupies the place where the "m" would normally be.

So your answer is: The slope of the line is 5.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

Answer 2

slope = 5

the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

f(x) = 5x - 2 is in this form

with slope m = 5
