Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to 10x - 5y = 8?

Answer 1

get y by its self first

Answer 2

Convert it to slope-intercept form.

Answer 3

10x - 5y = 8

Subtract 10x to both sides, can you do that?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

so then it will be -5x=-10x+8

Answer 6

10x-5y=8
-10x -10x
-5y=-10x+8
divide by -5
y= -10x + -8/5

Answer 7

then x=2x+8 right?

Answer 8

did the question ask for X?

Answer 9

Correct!

But we have:

y = 2x + 8/-5

Answer 10

because y intercept form
y=mx+b

Answer 11

You accidentally put 'x' in the beginning.

Answer 12

So now it's in slope-intercept form.

y = mx + b

Where 'm' is the slope.

So what's the slope here? @kylefoster58

Answer 13

y do we have a 2x?

Answer 14

We divided -5 to both sides.

Answer 15

cause 5 goes into 10 2 times

Answer 16

ok i get it

Answer 17

-5y = -10x + 8

That's every term on both sides.

-5y/-5 = -10/-5x + 8/-5

y = 2x + -8/5

Answer 18

Yep, so what's the slope of y = 2x - 8/5?

Answer 19

so the answer is -5 right?

Answer 20

no

Answer 21

No

Answer 22

is it 2?

Answer 23

what does m stamd for

Answer 24

Yep

Answer 25

2 is our slope..and parallel lines have the same slope, so that's ou ranswer.

Answer 26

*our answer

Answer 27

just positive 2 right?

Answer 28

just remember always get y by its self

Answer 29

yes

Answer 30

\(\sf y = \color{red}mx + b\)

\(\sf y = \color{red}2x - \dfrac{8}{5}\)

Answer 31

Yep, positive 2.

Answer 32

What is the slope of a line parallel to 4x + y = -1?
