Question

What is the slope of the line whose equation is 2x – 4y = 10?

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (0, −5) and (4, 2)?

Answer 1

Okay. 2x - 4y = 10
=> Factor out 2 from the left hand side, i.e.
2(x - 2y) = 10
x - 2y = 5
=> Set x - 2y = 5 in the slope intercept form: y = mx + c, where m = co-efficient of x = slope, then
x - 2y = 5 → y = mx + c
- 2y = - x + 5 → y = mx + c
2y = x - 5 → y = mx + c
y = x/2 - 5/2 → y = mx + c
=> From what you have above,
m = slope of the line: 2x - 4y = 10 is 1/2

Thats it!
