5. Find the slope of the line
PLZZ Help me

y = -2x

Step-by-step explanation

slope intercept form: y = mx + b

m is slope and b is y-intercept

1. lets find y-intercept cuz thats easiest

the line crosses (0,0) at the y-axis so there is no y-intercept

2. to find slope rise/run

we'll start at (0,0) since that's the y-intercept

3. slope is rise/run = -2/1 = -2

it's negative becuase it's going left

_____________________________________________________

another way you can find slope is by the equation y2 - y1/ x2 - x1

take 2 random points from the line, i will use (0,0) and (-2,4)

4 - 0/ -2 - 0 = 4/-2 = -2

slope is -2

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
