Question

Please help!!!! 1+y=-4/5x-2

Answer 1

Given that,

The equation is : 1+y=-4/5x-2

To find,

The slope of the line.

Solution,

We have,

$1+y=\dfrac{-4x}{5}-2$

Subtract 1 from both sides.

$1+y-1=\dfrac{-4x}{5}-2-1\\\\y=\dfrac{-4x}{5}-3$ .....(2)

The general equation of line is :

$y=mx+c$ ...(1)

where m is slope and c is y-intercept

Comparing equation (1) and (2)

m = $\dfrac{-4}{5}$ and c = -3

Hence, the slope of the line is  $\dfrac{-4}{5}$.
