How do you find the slope and intercept of #y=5x#?

Answer 1

#m=5 and c =0#

An equation which has an #x# term, a #y# term and a number term (or at least two of these), represents a straight line graph.

The form #y=mx +c# is useful because the slope, #m#, and the #y#-intercept, #c#, can be read off immediately,

Read #y= 5x# as meaning #y = 5/1x +0#

The slope is therefore #5/1# and the #y#-intercept is #0#

To find the slope and intercept of the equation ( y = 5x ), the slope is the coefficient of ( x ), which is ( 5 ), and the intercept is ( 0 ) since there is no constant term. So, the slope is ( 5 ) and the intercept is ( 0 ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
