Question

Please help my bro
What is the slope of the line
2x-5y=10
what are the intercepts

Answer 1

to find slope,first bring it in the form of y=mx+c
try....

Answer 2

+C ?

Answer 3

try to isolate y first...

Answer 4

If you are given equation directly in the form : \(ax + by = c\)

Then slope is given by :

\[Slope = -\frac{x \; \; coefficient}{y \; \; coefficient}\]

Answer 5

Tell me what are x and y coefficients here ??

Answer 6

2 and 5

Answer 7

So i divide the two coefficients ?

Answer 8

Yes..

Answer 9

Wait..

Answer 10

what is y coefficient ??

Answer 11

5 ?

Answer 12

How ??

Answer 13

See this like :

\[2x + (-5)y = 10\]

Answer 14

Now tell me what is x and y coefficient here ??

Answer 15

okay so Y is 2

Answer 16

Oh My God..

What is the digit attached to x there ??

Answer 17

\(2x + (-5)y = 10\)

Here \(x\) is attached to what ??

Answer 18

2

Answer 19

So this is x coefficient and you were right earlier..

And now tell me what is digit attached to y there ??

Answer 20

can u check me

Answer 21

Yes show me your work..

Answer 22

I give you one example:


For 5x - 10y = 15

x coefficient is 5 here

y coefficient is -10 here and not simply 10..

So now do the same for your question and tell me what are x and y coefficients there ??
