Question

A line in the xy -plane has a slope of 9 and passes through the point 0 , - 5 . The equation y = p x + r defines the line, where p and r are constants. What is the value of p ?

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 9 . It&rsquo;s given that the equation y = p x + r defines the line. In this equation, p represents the slope of the line and r represents the y -coordinate of the y -intercept of the line. It&rsquo;s given that the line has a slope of 9 . Therefore, the value of p is 9 .
