You can find the slope either by just looking at the line or using the slope formula.
#1: The slope formula is:
Find two points and plug it into the formula
I will use (0, 2) and (1, -1)
(0, 2) = (x₁, y₁)
(1, -1) = (x₂, y₂)
[two negatives cancel each other out and become positive]
m = -3
#2: To find the slope without having to do the work, you use this:
Rise is the number of units you go up(+) or down(-) from each point
Run is the number of units you go to the right from each point
If we start at a defined/obvious point, like (0, 2), find the next point and see how many units it goes up or down and to the right. The next point is (1, -1), so from each point, you go down 3 units and to the right 1 unit. So your slope is -3/1 or -3. You can make sure the slope is right by looking at another point.
So, you can do this one of two ways.
The first is knowing what the numbers in your equation represent:
For example: y=mx+b in this case "b" is 9. b is the y-value when x=0. So the first point on our graph is (0,9). Next we have to pick an xvalue to solve for another y-coordinate.
I chose x= -3. Plug x into the equation to get y.
y=3x+9
y=3(-3)+9
y=(-9)+9
y=0
So, our second point is (-3,0).
connect the points with a ruler to graph the line.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- Option A
tells us that: When we add 5 to a variable x, we get 20. As it has a unique value for x and is completely equal to it(i.e. 15), It is an equality.
- Option B
tells us that: A variable x equals to 5. Hence, as x is unique for 5 and is wholly equal to it, it's an equality too.
- Option C
tells us that: A variable x isn't 5 but lesser than it. As we cannot equate it to 5, nor we are given the nature of the variable x, it is an Inequality.
- Option D
is an expression; It can't be called an equation or an inequality unless we relate it with another expression.
