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

Question

caozeyuan · Answer

-5y=-10-2x, y=2+2/5x so the slope is 2/5

anonymous · Answer

Start with the given equation 

Let's find the x-intercept 

To find the x-intercept, let y=0 and solve for x: 
 Plug in  

 Simplify 

 Divide both sides by 2 


 Reduce 



So the x-intercept is  (note: the x-intercept will always have a y-coordinate equal to zero)

 Start with the given equation 

Now let's find the y-intercept 

To find the y-intercept, let x=0 and solve for y: 
 Plug in  

 Simplify 

 Divide both sides by -5 



 Reduce
