Question

5) 4x – 5y = -20 What is the slope

Answer 1

Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x – 5y = -20

Subtract 4x from each side

4x-4x – 5y = -4x-20

-5y = -4x-20

Divide each side by -5

-5y/-5 = -4x/-5 -20/-5

y = 4/5 x +4

The slope is 4/5 and the y intercept is 4

Answer 2

Answer: 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, solve for y

4x - 5y = -20

-5y = -4x - 20

y = $\frac{4x}{5} +4$

The slope is the coefficient of x which is $\frac{4}{5}$
