Y=-5x-1 what is the slope? show work

Hi there!

An equation in the slope-intercept form is written as :

y = mx + b

Where "m" is the slope of the line and "b" is the y-intercept.

Your equation is :

y = -5x - 1

Where you can see that the number in the place of "m" is -5, which is the slope of the line.

Answer : The slope of the line is -5.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

hi there!

how can i assist you?

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
