SOLUTION: I need to find the slope and y and x intercepts for a line. The question is g(x)=54x-1. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the number next to the x in slope-point form supposed to be t

Question 653974: I need to find the slope and y and x intercepts for a line. The question is
g(x)=54x-1. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the number next to the x in slope-point form supposed to be the slope right? So I looked in the back of my Algebra II book to check my answer, and it says the slope is 5. I would like to know if I'm simply wrong about slope-point operations or if I'm supposed to reduce the slope somehow.

If the equation is g%28x%29+=+54x-1, then the slope is 54.

If the equation is really g%28x%29=5x-1, then the slope is 5.
