Question

What is the slope of the line 7x + 2y = 5

Answer 1

Answer:

-7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

-3.5 or -7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a linear line, change it to y=mx+b where m=slope.

7x+2y=5

2y=-7x+5

y=(-7x+5)/2

y=-7/2x+5/2

5/2 is the y intercept(b), it does not affect the slope.

Thus, the answer is -7/2
