Any ideas?

What is your understanding of this Q? ^
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
Have learned about the "slope-intercept" form of a line?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you have to let x=0
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
You don't need to do that for what this question is asking :-)

the slope-intercept form is y = mx + b where m is the slope
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the slope is 14
OpenStudy (anonymous):
?
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
Put 2y - 5x = 14 into the form y = mx + b then m will be the slope that the question is asking for.

im new at this soo sorry
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
2y - 5x = 14
2y = 5x + 14
y = ( 5/2)x + 14/2
y = m x + b
What is m?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2.5
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
Correct! That is the slope of the graph of 2y - 5x = 14.
