Question

What is the slope of the line 2x – 5y = 12 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

2x−5y=12

y = 2/5x + −12/5

Answer is x = 5/2y + 6 because....

First,  Add 5y to both sides.

2x − 5y + 5y = 12 + 5y

Then, Divide both sides by 2.

$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{5y+12}{2}$

Therefor, your answer is going to be x = 5/2y + 6

Answer 2

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equation of a line and we are to tell the slope of the line:

$2x-5y=12$

We know that the standard equation of a line is given by:

$y = m x + c$ where m is the slope of the line.

So re-writing the given equation in the standard form:

$y=\frac{2}{5} x-\frac{12}{5}$

Therefore, 2/5 is the slope of the line.
