Question

What is the slope of the line 2x - 5y = -10?

Answer 1

We might first try and put this in a form we're familiar with. Do you know point intercept form?

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

Like y = mx + b where m is the slope

Answer 4

2x - 5y = -10
So we'll solve for y.

Answer 5

alright
wouldnt it be 2

Answer 6

2x - 5y = -10
subtract 2x
-5y = -2x - 10
divide by -5
y = -2x/-5 - 10/-5
y = 2/5x +2

Answer 7

The place where the line crosses the y intercept would be 2, but we want m or slope

Answer 8

Compare
y = 2/5x +2
y = mx +b
which number would be m? That's the slope.

Answer 9

So, the answer is 2/5, right?
