Question

-4x-y=-5 what is the slope

Answer 1

Answer

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope=-4

y- intercept= (0,5)

Answer 2

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the number (& sign) attached to the variable x.

Remember to follow the slope-intercept form: y = mx + b.

Isolate the variable y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. ∴

First, add 4x to both sides:

-4x (+4x) - y = -5 (+4x)

-y = 4x - 5

Next, divide -1 from both sides (to make the variably y positive):

(-y)/-1 = (4x - 5)/-1

y = (4x - 5)/-1

y = -4x + 5

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b, in which m = slope, ∴ -4 is your answer.
