Question

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

Answer 1

Hello, and welcome to OpenStudy!

Yo uwant to solve the equation for y, and the middle term, right next to the x, is your slope. y = mx + b, where b is the y-intersect and m is the slope.

Answer 2

I don't understand it though... Can you help me?

Answer 3

Subtract 5x and you get -2y = -5x - 10

Now divide by -2

Answer 4

does y=-5/2? what do I do with the 10

Answer 5

?

Answer 6

5x - 2y = -10?
-2y = -5x - 10
y = 2/5x + 5

Answer 7

can you help me with this? Given the equation y − 4 = 3/4(x + 8) in point-slope form, identify the equation of the same line in slope-intercept form.

Answer 8

Yeah, no problem.

You first want to put the equation in slope-intersecpt form. Just solve for y...

Answer 9

how do you put it into slope-intercept form?

Answer 10

Solve. For. Y. Just. Add. 4...
