What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y=x/3-5

a. 1/3

b. - 5

c. 3

d. - 3/5

a. 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x/3-5 (rewrite x - term)

y = (1/3) x + 5

recall that in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation y = mx + b

m is the slope.

In our case, we can clearly see that slope m = (1/3)
