Question

How do you find the slope and intercept of `y=1/5x+5`?

Answer 1

`m = 1/5 , " y-intercept = 5 "`

Explanation:

The equation of a line in the form y = mx + c , where m represents the gradient (slope ) and c , the y-intercept , is useful in that the values of m and c , can be extracted ' easily'.

the equation `y = 1/5 x + 5 " is in this form "`

`rArr " slope " = 1/5 " and y-intercept " = 5`

Here is the graph.
