The slope of the line 5x – y = 12

Question

i just like to cheat on quiz or test thats just mi life

Answer 1

The Standard Form of a line looks like:   Ax + By = C

 

Using the coefficients A, B, and C, you may express the slope of the line as  (-A/B).

Thus, the slope of the line   5x - y = 12  is  (-5/(-1)) = 5

 

 

 

Now, if you want to first convert the line to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b,  where m=slope and b is the y-intercept), then:      y = 5x -12

        so, slope, m=5
