Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2

or

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to get the line in the form of y = mx + b

2x - 4y = 10                  Subtract 3x from both sides

-4y = - 2x + 10              3x on the left disappears. Divide by - 4

-4y/-4 =-2x/-4 +10/-4    Do the division

y = (2/4)x - 2.5

y = (1/2)x - 2.5

The slope is the number in front of the x

y = 0.5x - 2.5

Answer 2

The equation of line is
y = mx + b, where m is the slope
2x - 4y = 10
-4y=-2x +10
y= -2x/-4 + 10/-4
y= 1/2 x -2.5
so your lope is 1/2
