Q. Find the slope of the line y=−5x+143. Write your answer as an integer or as a simplified proper or improper fraction.
Identify slope: Identify the slope from the equation y=−5x+143.In the equation y=mx+b, the coefficient of x is the slope (m). Here, the coefficient of x is −5.
No further calculations: There is no need for further calculations as the slope is clearly identified from the equation.The slope of the line y=−5x+143 is −5.
