Question

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

Answer 1

first change it to y = mx + b

Answer 2

^

Answer 3

how

Answer 4

Add 4y on both sides

Subtract both sides by 10

Divide both sides by 4

Answer 5

move 2x to the other side

Answer 6

so what's the answer

Answer 7

try to solve for y first

Answer 8

idk how

Answer 9

Then you must figure it out :)

Answer 10

We cannot do the work for you. The rules simply do not allow it.

Answer 11

the "rules" can smd

Answer 12

I needs helps

Answer 13

hhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllpppppppppppppp

Answer 14

Sorry, but you do not want to cooperate.

Answer 15

2x – 4y = 10

Add 4y to both sides

2x - 4y + 4y = 10 + 4y

Can you simplify it a little more? :)

Answer 16

idk how

Answer 17

Look at the left side

-4y + 4y = ?

What does it equal?

Answer 18

0?

Answer 19

Correct!

Answer 20

So now we have

2x = 10 + 4y

Subtract 10 on both sides

2x - 10 = 10 - 10 + 4y

What is 10 - 10 = ?

Answer 21

0

Answer 22

Correct, once again! See! You do know something! :)

Answer 23

So, now we have

4y = 2x - 10

We need to divide 4 on both sides

What is 4/4 = ?

What is 2/4 = ?

And, finally, what is 10/4 = ?

Answer 24

2.5?

Answer 25

Yes, 10/4 = 2.5

What about 4/4 = ?

And 2/4 = ?

Answer 26

1 & 0.5?

Answer 27

correct!

Answer 28

So now we have

y = 0.5x + 2.5

Answer 29

so what's the answer

Answer 30

Ok, now we got your equation in y = mx + b form :)

Answer 31

now what?

Answer 32

In the form y = mx + b, the m is the slope :)

Answer 33

so in y = 0.5x + 2.5

what is the slope?

Hint: it's the number before x

Answer 34

0.5?

Answer 35

Correct! That's your answer! :D

Answer 36

Now, that wasn't so hard was it? :)

Answer 37

but the answer is supposed to be a fraction?

Answer 38

oh, in that case it would be 1/2

Answer 39

oh ok thank you so much for all your help

Answer 40

It was my pleasure! :D
