Question

What is the slope of the linear equation 5y - 10x = -15?

Answer 1

What you need to do is change the equation to the form y=mx+b.
So,

`5y=10x-15` Add 10x to both sides to move 10x from the right side.

`y=2x-3` Divide the 5 from 5y to isolate the variable.
Now, the equation is in y=mx+b, and the slope of the line is m, so the slope of this equation is 2.
