Question 924532
How do you find the slope of:
 y=-5/2x-5
-----
Slope is the value that y changes when x changes by 1.
----
f(0) = -5
----
f(1) = -5/2*1 - 5
----
Slope = change in y = f(1)-f(0) = -5/2
----
That is the slope.
---
In general, if you have an equation of the form y = mx + b,
the slope will be "m".
