Question

What is the slope of the equation 5x + 4y = 8 ?


Answer:
a. 1/3
b. -5/4
c. 5/8
d. -4/5
e. 8/5

Answer 1

you need to put it in y=mx+b soooo

Answer 2

now that its in y = mx+b form , mx= the slope therefore

Answer 3

and it cant be simplified since all 5 and 4 share in common is 1.

Answer 4

Take the derivative to get 5+4y'=0, -5/4 is your slope, boom isn't calculus fun?
