Question

Can someone help me find the slope of the line 5x - 2y = -10?

Answer 1

solve for y

then use the equation

y = mx + b
where m is the slope
and
b is the y intercept

Answer 2

After you solve for y compare to the equation of the line to find the slope

Answer 3

equation of a line is y=mx+b.. now to in order for our equation to agree with line equation, we have to rearrange it.

5x - 2y = -10

transfer -2y to right side, makes it +2y and -10 to left side, makes it +10

5x + 10 = 2y or
2y = 5x +10

we only need 1 y. so divide both sides by 2..

y = (5/2)x + 5

y = mx+b

where m is the slope, b is the y-intercept.
