Question

My answer: 5/2

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

Answer 1

-5/2**

Answer 2

you can read the slope when you write your equation in the form \(y = ax + b\).

Answer 3

it's \(a\)

Answer 4

-5/2?

Answer 5

yes, the steps are:
\[
\phantom{\iff\ }5x+2y=10 \\
\iff 2y = -5x + 10 \\
\iff y = -(5/2)x + 10/2
\]
the coefficient in front of \(x\) is the slope.
