what is the slope of y=-5x-17

1 answer

The equation \( y = -5x - 17 \) is in slope-intercept form, which is given by the equation \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) represents the slope and \( b \) represents the y-intercept.

In this equation, the slope \( m \) is \(-5\).

So, the slope of the line is \(-5\).
