Answer (2)

The slope of the line given by the equation y = − 5 x + 1 is -5, not 1. Therefore, the statement is False. The correct slope reflects the coefficient of x in the equation.

The linear equation has general form (y = mx + c) with m is the slope.
So,
y = -5x + 1 → m = -5
But, the question state m = 1. So, the statement is false.
