ASVAB Mathematics Knowledge Answer to Question on Slope
Mathematics Knowledge
Yesterday I presented a question on slope. Do you know the slope of the line y = 5x – 3?
In my book, The ASVAB Tutor’s Mathematics Knowledge Study Guide, I review 15 subtopics. One of these subtopics is angles and slope. The equation in today’s question is presented in the slope-intercept form of a line. The standard slope-intercept form of a line is y = mx + b.
The m represents the slope, and the b represents the y-intercept. The slope is the steepness of the line. The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
In the line y = 5x-3, the slope is 5 and the y-intercept is -3.
Did you know how to solve this problem?
