What is the slope of the line represented by y = 5x - 7?

Answer: + 5

Step-by-step explanation: This equation is written in slope-intercept form which is more commonly known as y = mx + b form.

The m or the coefficient of the x term represents the slope of the line.

So here, the coefficient of the x term is + 5.

So the slope of this line is + 5.

The slope of the line is 5/1 because the number by the x is always your slope and it is always to be announced as a fraction so you add 1 as the denominator if there isn't already a denominator.
