<u>Answer:</u>
5) -5/4 || 6) -1/2 || 7) -3/4 || 8) -5/3
<u>Explanation:</u>
Using the formula:
<em>y = mx + b</em>..............................where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
5) y = -5/4 x + 3
comparing the equation, we know -5/4 is the slope.
6) y = -1/2 x + 2
comparing the equation, we know -1/2 is the slope.
7) y = -3/4 x
comparing the equation, we know -3/4 is the slope.
8) y = -5/3 x + 5
comparing the equation, we know -5/3 is the slope.
