Question

What is the slope of the line whose equation is 2x−4y=10 ? Enter your answer in the box. NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST AND POINTS

Answer 1

Answer:

the slope is equal to $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$2x-4y=10$ -----> equation of the line in standard form

we know that

The equation of the line into slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b  is the coordinate y of the y-intercept

Convert the equation of the line into slope intercept form

$2x-4y=10$ -----> isolate the variable y

$4y=2x-10$

$y=\frac{2}{4}x-\frac{10}{4}$

Simplify

$y=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{5}{2}$

therefore

the slope is equal to

$m=\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope of the line is 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 x − 4 y = 10 (Subtract  2 x from both sides.)

− 4 y = − 2 x + 10 (Divide both sides by -4.)

y = − 2 x − 4 + 10 − 4  (Simplify.)

y = 1/2 x − 5 /2

y=1/2
