When graphing the equation y = 5x – 5, what is the slope?

-5

-4

5

The slope of a linear equation is represented by the coefficient of the x-term. In this equation, the coefficient of x is 5, indicating a slope of 5. The other options are incorrect as they are either the negative value of the coefficient or do not match the equation given. Option A of -5 would be the slope if the equation was y = -5x - 5. Option B of -4 does not reflect the value of the coefficient. Option D of 4 would be the slope if the equation was y = 4x - 5. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
