Question

What is the slope of the line y = - 5/4x - 5 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

-5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is rise over run which means that the -5 will apply to your y values and the 4 will apply to your x values. This slope would have a point move down 5 units and to the right 4 units to get the location of the next point when going left to right. Because the slope contains a negative, the slope will be angled downward left to right. The negative only applies to the 5.
