Question

What is the slope of the line 2x – 5y = 12 ?
A. two fifths
B. five halves
C. 2
D. negative twelve fifths

Answer 1

do you know what is the general form of slope formula?

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

\[\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\]

Answer 4

it is y=mx+b
where,
b=constant and m=slope of the function and y=function and x=variable.

Answer 5

2/5

Answer 6

now make your given function i.e. 2x-5y=12 according to the given form,
separate y, then we got it as,
y=(2/5)x-12/5
now compare with the given form,
m=2/5, b=12/5
That's it.
