what is this 5x+y=-1,m=?

Answer 1

y = mx + c is the equation of a straight line of gradient m, that passes thro` (0,c)
y = - 5x - 1is the equation of a straight line of gradient - 5 that passes thro` (0 , - 1)

Answer 2

This is easy!

Firstly, this is an equation for a line on a graph.

The general equation is y= mx+c (in the U.S. i think the equation is y=mx+b)

So rearrange the equation to get y on one side (take away 5x from both sides)
5x+y= -1
y= -5x - 1

c is the y intercept (where the line crosses the y axis)

c= -1

m is the gradient or slope

so m= -5

Answer 3

The general formula for a linear equation is y = mx + c, where m is the gradient (slope) and c is the y-intercept (on the graph).

So, you have

5x + y = -1
y = -5x -1

m = -5, c = -1

Answer 4

5x+y=-1
y=-1-5x

m means the slope, m is the coeffecient of x when then equation is in the form y= mx+c

so in this case it is -5

Answer 5

m - slope
first re-write your equation in slope intercept form (when you have y = mx+b):
y = -5x -1
som m = -5, and y-intercept is -1

Answer 6

y = -5x -1
m= -5

i'm not sure but m is the slope right?

Answer 7

m=slope

y= -5x -1

m= -5

Answer 8

m means slope. here slope is -5
