Question

Given the linear equation x + y = 5, how do you find the slope of its graph?

Answer 1

`m = -1`

Explanation:

Change it into standard form as `y = mx + c` and the answer is available without any further working.

m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

In`" "y = -x+5" "`the coefficinet of the x-term is the slope.

In this case it is -1
