what is the slope of y=5x-6 and y=7/2x +5 ?

The slope of y=5x-6 is 5 because y goes up by 5 when x goes up by 1.

The slope of y=7/2x+5 is 7/2 because y goes up by 7/2 (or 3.5) when x goes up by 1.

thank you very much Bob!!

To find the slope of a linear equation in the form y = mx + b, where m represents the coefficient of x, you simply need to look at the value of m.

For the first equation, y = 5x - 6, the coefficient of x is 5. Therefore, the slope of this equation is 5.

For the second equation, y = (7/2)x + 5, the coefficient of x is 7/2. This equation is in the form y = mx + b, where m = 7/2 and b = 5. Therefore, the slope of this equation is 7/2.

So, the slope of y = 5x - 6 is 5, and the slope of y = (7/2)x + 5 is 7/2.
