Question

5x + 2y = 0 is the equation of a line whose slope is 
undefined. (True or false)

anonymous · Answer

what do you think

if you have no idea, see if you can change it into slope intercept form

anonymous · Answer

0=5x+2y so False

mertsj · Answer

Solve it for y.  Just like you were shown in your previous question.

anonymous · Answer

2=5x+0

anonymous · Answer

?

mertsj · Answer

Look back at your previous question to see how to solve an equation for y.  Time you learn to do it yourself.

anonymous · Answer

it confuses me since i have 2 x and y coordinates and in this question i have 1 set

mertsj · Answer

Subtract 5x from both sides.

mertsj · Answer

|dw:1370133453638:dw|

mertsj · Answer

In the previous question you subtracted x from both sides.  This time subtract 5x from both sides.

anonymous · Answer

2y=-5x+0

mertsj · Answer

Now divide everything by 2.
In your previous example, you divided everything by 5.  This time divide by 2

anonymous · Answer

-5x/2 that is the slope but how do i find out if it is undefined or not

anonymous · Answer

are you still here?
