\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let's use the general equation \"y=mx%2Bb\" where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "From \"y=-2x%2B5\", we can see that \"m=-2\" and \"b=5\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the slope is \"m=-2\"\r
