Question

What is the slope of 4x+5y= -10

Answer 1

Answer:

$-\frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, rearrange the equation to y=mx+b or y=mx+c.

$4x+5y=-10$

Subtract 4x from both sides:

$5y=-10-4x$

Divide 5 on both sides:

$y=\frac{-10-4x}{5}$

$y=-\frac{4}{5} x-2$

In the equation of y=mx+b/y=mx+c, m will be the slope.

Therefore, the slope is $-\frac{4}{5}$
