Given the equation:
y =5x - 1
Determine the slope.
Explanation:
The equation of the line is represented in slope-intercept form, y =mx + b, where m is the slope of the line. Hence, slope-intercept form was originally derived from point-slope form, y -y1 = m(x - x1), whereas the slope of the line does not change in the two equations.
y = 5x - 1
y = mx + b
m = 5
Final answer:
Slope = 5
