Question 11 • Mathematics 8

What is the slope of each line? Line cap A : y is equal to negative 5 x minus 2 Line cap b : y is equal to 2 x plus 3

Answer
A
The slope of line cap A is equal to negative 5 . The slope of line cap b is equal to 2 .
B
The slope of line cap A is equal to negative 2 . The slope of line cap b is equal to 3 .
C
The slope of line cap A is equal to 5 . The slope of line cap b is equal to negative 2 .
D
The slope of line cap A is equal to 3 . The slope of line cap b is equal to negative 2 .

Explanation

In slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, the slope is the coefficient m of x. For line A, y = −5x − 2, so the slope is −5; for line B, y = 2x + 3, so the slope is 2. Choice A gives both slopes correctly.
