$m = - \frac{5}{2}$ $m = -5/2$

The equation of a line can be written in the form $y = m x + c$ $y = mx+c$

In this case we only have a $y$ $y$ -term and an $x$ $x$ -term.

The numerical coefficient of the the $x$ $x$ indicates the slope or gradient.

So $m = - \frac{5}{2}$ $m = -5/2$

The gradient of y=−52xy= - 5 /2 x?
