Answer 3

if you change the equation a bit, it'd be y= -5x/2 + 10, so the slope is -5/2

Answer 4

Can u explain tht in more detail?

Answer 5

@tanvirms Yo!

Answer 6

@dmezzullo Basically, you have to get the equation in the form \(y = \rm something...\)

Answer 7

get the equation y+something, and the constant (or numerical) part with x (with its sign) will be the slope

Answer 8

y=something* my bad

Answer 9

ok

Answer 10

5 halves

Answer 11

@dmezzullo Do you know what it means to "solve" for a variable?

Answer 12

try to find the answer?

Answer 13

No, like solving for \(y\) means to get \(y\) on the left side and the other junk on the right

Answer 14

lol i like how u worded it

Answer 15

Heh, so get \(y\) on the left and the other junk on right.
