Question

What is the slope of the line?

y+5=2(x+1)

A. 1/5
B. 2/5
C. 2
D. 1/2

Answer 1

Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form:

y+5=2(x+1)

Use the distributive property:

y+5 = 2x +2

Subtract 5 from each side:

y = 2x -3

The slope is the value with the X

The slope = 2

Answer 2

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+1)=y+5

2x+1=y+5

y+5=6

in addtion y can be add

so we have now...

2x+1=6

minus 1 from 6 and get 5

2x=5

5 divide by 2 = 2/5
