Question

What is the slope of the line 4x – 2y = 5?

–4
–2
2
4

Answer 1

slope = 2

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

4x - 2y = 5 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

- 2y = - 4x + 5 ( divide all terms by - 2 )

y = 2x +
`(5)/(2)` ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 2

Answer 2

It is 2.

Explanation:

The equation becomes -2y=-4x=5

But you divide by -2 to get y solo. So -4/-2=2.
