Question 115199
#1

Let's use the general equation {{{y=mx+b}}} where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept


From {{{y=-2x+5}}}, we can see that {{{m=-2}}} and {{{b=5}}} 


So the slope is {{{m=-2}}}

#2

Let's use the general equation {{{y=mx+b}}} where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept


From {{{y=(1/2)x+5}}}, we can see that {{{m=1/2}}} and {{{b=5}}} 


So the slope is {{{m=1/2}}}
