SOLUTION: if m represents the gradient of a linear graph and the equation of a linier graph is y=mx+b, what is the gradient of y=5x+2? and how do i work it out?

Question 499637: if m represents the gradient of a linear graph and the equation of a linier graph is y=mx+b, what is the gradient of y=5x+2? and how do i work it out?
Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A linear equation of the form: is called the "slope-intercept" form in the U.S.
The "slope", m, would be equivalent to the "gradient".
Compare this with the "slope-intercept" form:
and you can see that the slope (or gradient), m = 5.
Does this make sense?
