Step 1.1

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Step 1.2

Simplify the right side.

Step 1.2.1

Combine $\frac{L}{5}$ and $x$ .

$y = \frac{L x}{5} - 1$

Step 1.3

Reorder $L$ and $x$ .

$y = \frac{x L}{5} - 1$

Step 1.4

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

$y = \frac{L}{5} x - 1$

Step 2

The equation is not linear, so a constant slope does not exist.
