Question

question 5 of 10
what is the slope of the line given by the equation below?
y - 20 = 5(x - 2)

a. -20
b. -2
c. 20
d. 5

Explanation:

Step1: Recall point - slope form

The point - slope form of a line is $y - y_1=m(x - x_1)$, where $m$ is the slope of the line and $(x_1,y_1)$ is a point on the line.

Step2: Compare with given equation

The given equation is $y - 20 = 5(x - 2)$. Comparing this with the point - slope form $y - y_1=m(x - x_1)$, we can see that $m = 5$.

Answer:

D. 5
