what is the slope of the graph y=-2x+5

Question

how do i solve this 

Answer 1

The equation is in the form of y=mx+b where m is equal to the slope and b is the y-intercept (spot where the graph crosses the y-axis). 

 

So in your equation, the slope is equal to -2. Which means that from the y-intercept of +5, each point is up two units and left one unit.

Answer 2

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

The line is written in slope intercept form, meaning that you can find the slope by checking the coefficient on the “x” term …. in this case it would be m = -2
