What is the slope of the equation y = 5x + 2?

  1. 2/5

  2. 5/2

  3. 5

  4. 7

The correct answer is: 5

The slope of the equation y = 5x + 2 is 5. This is because the equation is in the form y = mx + b, where m represents the slope. In this equation, m = 5, indicating that the slope is 5. Option A, 2/5, is incorrect because it is the inverse of the correct slope, 5. Option B, 5/2, is incorrect because it is the reciprocal of the correct slope. Option D, 7, is incorrect because it is a completely different number and not related to the slope of the equation. Therefore, the only correct option is C, 5.
