What is the slope of the equation y = 5x + 18?

The correct answer is: 5

The slope of a linear equation in the form of y = mx + b is represented by the value of "m," which is the coefficient of the x term. In this equation, the coefficient of the x term is 5, therefore the slope is 5. As for the other options, A is incorrect because a slope of 0 would result in a horizontal line, which is not the case for this equation. B is incorrect because 18 is the y-intercept, or the point where the line crosses the y-axis, but it is not the slope. D is incorrect because it represents the slope of a line with a slope of 1, but y = 5x + 18 has a slope of 5.
