For the linear equation 5x - y = 2, which of the following has a value of 5?

A) the slope
B) the x-intercept
C) the y-intercept
D) the origin

Respuesta :

The slope-intercept form of a line is the following:

[tex]y=mx+q[/tex]

In this form, [tex]m[/tex] is the shape and [tex]q[/tex] is the y-intercept. Your line written in this form is

[tex]y=5x-2[/tex]

which implies that the slope is 5 and the y-intercept is -2.
