Question

What is the slope of 6x+10y=8 (choice A) A -3/4 B -5/4 C -3/5 D -4/5

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 6x + 10y = 8 into this form by subtracting 6x from both sides

10y = - 6x + 8 ( divide all terms by 10 )

y = - $\frac{3}{5}$ x + $\frac{4}{5}$ ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{3}{5}$ → C
