Find the slope of the following equation: y=.5+5x

1 answer

To find the slope of the equation \( y = 0.5 + 5x \), we can rewrite it in the slope-intercept form, which is \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) represents the slope and \( b \) represents the y-intercept.

In your equation:

  • The term associated with \( x \) is \( 5x \).
  • Thus, the slope \( m \) is \( 5 \).

Therefore, the slope of the equation \( y = 0.5 + 5x \) is \( \boxed{5} \).
