8x-Y=5? (solving for slope)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

finding the slope is simple. all we need to do is re-write the equation in terms of y and we'll go from there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so wouldn't it be -Y=5-8X?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct. One more step, let's get rid of the negative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we do that my multiplying both sides by -1 or divide both sides by -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Divide

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is the same but sure, let's divide.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-Y=5-8X --------- -1 ?
