Question

Find the slope of the line 2y – 2.x = -7.

Answer 1

Solving the given equation for y we get:

`\begin{gathered} 2y-2x+2x=-7+2x, \\ 2y=2x-7, \\ (2y)/(2)=(2x-7)/(2), \\ y=x-(7)/(2)\text{.} \end{gathered}`

The above equation is in slope-intercept form, therefore the slope of the line is

`1.`

Answer: 1.
