Question

Find the gradient from this equation 2x + 5y = 1​

Answer 1

Answer:-2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Now the above equation can be rewritten as 5y= -2x+1

Dividing this expression through by 5, we have 5y/5 = -2x/5 + 1/5

y= (-2/5)x + 1/5

Comparing with the general equation of a line;

y = mx + c; m= gradient; C= constant along the y-axis

m= -2/5
