Question

What is the slope of the line 5x + 2y = 10
Answer

none of the above

Answer 1

We have
\[5x+2y=10\]
Standard line equation in slope intercept form
\[y=mx+c\]
\[\text{m is the slope}\]
\[\text{ c is the y intercept}\]
Let's convert our equation in this form
\[5x+2y=10\]
\[2y=10-5x\]
\[y=-\frac{5}{2}x+5\]
Now tell me what's the slope?
