Question

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

Answer 1

First thing you should do is put it in y= form. do you know how to do that?

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

what y= form is, is a form where you can plug in a coordinate for x to find y

Answer 4

y=ax+b

Answer 5

The first step is to get y alone. DO you know how to do that?

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

2x – 4y = 10
first subtract 2x from each side
2x – 4y = 10
-2x -2x
to get
– 4y = 10-2x

Answer 8

Now you want get rid of that -4 in front of the y

Answer 9

To do that you divide everything by -4
– 4y = 10-2x
/-4 /-4 /-4
to get
y=-2.5+.5x

Answer 10

sssssssssoooooooooooooooo what's the answer mate

Answer 11

to make it easier you can switch -2.5 and .5x around
y=.5x-2.5

Answer 12

that's y intercept from

Answer 13

I assume you know how to find the slope from here

Answer 14

no, no I do not

Answer 15

Do you know what the slope of a line is?

Answer 16

no

Answer 17

The slope is the steepness of a line

Answer 18

in this equation if -2.5 represents where the line crosses the y intercept and y and x are coordinated that plug in, what can we conclude the slope is?

Answer 19

I have no idea, can you just tell me ma'am I do not understand

Answer 22

plug in your equation here

Answer 23

remember the slope is the steepness of the line

Answer 24

in y intercept form the slope in plainly stated in the equation. No math required
