Question

Find the slope of a line parallel to 5x+2y=6

A- 2/5
B- -2/5
C- 5/2
D- -5/2

Answer 1

either
a) solve for \(y\) or
b) memorize that the slope of \(ax+by=c\) is \(-\frac{a}{b}\)

Answer 2

in your case \(a=5,b=2\)

Answer 3

HI!!

Answer 4

you got this?

Answer 5

another way would be to rearrange it into point slope form so basically solve for y

5x+2y=6
-5x -5x

2y=6-5x divide both sides by two

y=3-5/2x or y=-5/2x+3

and you have it in y=mx+b from and remember m=slope
