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

Answer 1

CONFUSED

Answer 2

In the form Y=MX+B, M is the slope, so could you find a way to rearrange 5x - 2y = -10 to that form?

Answer 3

?

Answer 4

im so confused im sorry

Answer 5

Get the y by itself on one side

Answer 6

@caitlinnr14 Formula is y=mx+b

So first arrange your eq.

Answer 7

Like this,
\[5x - 2y = -10\]
Add \(\color{blue}{+2y}\) to both sides and add \(\color{red}{+10}\) to both sides
\[5x\color{blue}{-2y+2y}\color{red}{+10}=-10\color{red}{+10}\color{blue}{+2y}\]
You get
\[5x+10=2y\]
Same as
\[2y=5x+10\]
Divide 2 both sides and you'll get a similar form of y=mx+b

Answer 8

5x - 2y = -10?

-2y=-5x-10

Answer 9

wait is it -2y=-5x-10 or 2y=5x+10 @uri @.Sam.

Answer 10

thats right

Answer 11

5x - 2y = -10?

-2y=-5x-10

Answer 12

Which one? @jonjenkins7653

Answer 13

oh ok

Answer 14

What i said @caitlinnr14

Answer 15

yeah thats right

Answer 16

Both are correct @caitlinnr14

Answer 17

so the slope would be -2/5? i dont know if thts rightttt

Answer 18

Both
2y=5x+10 and -2y=-5x-10 is correct if you're not dealing with inequalities

Answer 19

2y=5x+10 and -2y=-5x-10 is correct

Answer 20

oh ok @.Sam.

Answer 21

A negative divided by a negative makes a positive

Answer 22

those are both correct

Answer 23

oh sry thx i made a mistake @Littlebird

Answer 24

Divide 2 to both sides
\[y=\frac{5}{2}x+5\]
\[y=mx+b\]

m is slope, so what is slope?

Answer 25

5?

Answer 26

Careful,
\[y=(\frac{5}{2})x+5\]

Answer 27

ohhhhhh okkk

Answer 28

I got it noe thank yo so much i guess i get confused at the part where you convert it to y=mx+b

Answer 29

Oh its simple its just direct conversion :)

Answer 30

thank you

Answer 31
