Question

find the slop of the line x-5y=8.

Answer 1

Solve for y, and the coefficient of x will be the slope. This is because \(y = mx + b\).

Answer 2

-5y=8-x
y=(8-x)/(-5)
y=-8/5+x/5
y=(1/5)x-8/5
since y=mx+b, and m is the slope ...

Answer 3

so the answer is 1/5 correct ?

Answer 4

x - 5y = 8
-5y = -x + 8
y = 1/5x - 8/5

yes...the slope is 1/5

Answer 5

yes
