What is the slope of the line described by the equation below? y=5x-22

The slope of the given  equation y = 5x - 22  is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

  Given : equation of line as y = 5x - 22

We have to find the slope of the given  equation y = 5x - 22

We know the standard equation of a line is written as y = mx + c , where m is slope and c is y intercept.

So for the given  eqaution  y = 5x - 22

Comparing with standard equation

we have,

m = 5 and c = - 22

Thus, the slope of the given  equation y = 5x - 22  is 5.
