Find the Slope y=x/5+16

$y = \frac{x}{5} + 16$

Step 1

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Reorder terms.

$y = \frac{1}{5} x + 16$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $\frac{1}{5}$ .

$m = \frac{1}{5}$
