Question

To graph the equation 2x + 5y = 10, Zeplyn draws a line through the points (5, 0) and (0, What is the slope of the line represented by 2x + 5y = 10?

Answer 1

Answer: -2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we set the function use y = mx + b forms.

2x + 5y = 10

        5y = -2x + 10              Minus 2x in both side

           y = -2/5x + 10/5       Divide 5 from both side

           y = -2/5x + 2

In the y = mx + b, the m before variable x is always the slope, so -2/5 is the slope for 2x + 5y = 10.
