Shakespeare allowed Claudius to present a soliloquy to show Claudius' rationality and his understanding of the actions and consequences he provoked.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- Claudius is a complex character and aware of his actions.
- Shakespeare wanted to reinforce Claudius' rationality by showing that he killed his brother aware of what he was doing, but also aware that he was acting the wrong way.
- Claudius, despite being rational is a person capable of feeling emotions, as we can see in the way he talks to the queen.
- This ability is what makes him feel guilt, fear, and sadness for the sin he committed in full control of his actions.
Sin makes Claudius feel estranged from God. He wants to ask for forgiveness, but he knows he is not sorry, and therefore, God will not hear him. In this case, the soliloquy is what allows Claudius to express the guilt he has, even though he is happy with the result of his actions.

Answer:
slope: -5
y-intercept: 6
Explanation:
this is in slope-intercept form already, which is:
y = mx + b
where m = slope and b = y-intercept
so, -5 = slope and 6 = y-intercept :)
