Question

What is the slope of the line 5x – 2y = -10?

Answer 1

slope from standard form is -a/b
so, -5/2

Answer 2

first make everthing equal to y
so.... -2y=-5x-10
y=5/2x+5
then you just look at the number by the x which is 5/2 and that would be your slope

Answer 3

or that. but im still convinced that its -a/b

Answer 4

no need to add extra work into it unless you really like to ;)

ax+by=c ; slope = -a/b

Answer 5

so therefore -5/2

Answer 6

-5/-2 = 5/2

Answer 7

thank u amistre

Answer 8

oh, whoops, nvrmind, missed th -2 :D

Answer 9

ax+by = c

by = -ax + c

y = (-a/b)x + c/b

Answer 10

there is a negative people! the answer is most definately positive! :)
