Question

Problem 3

Select all the points that would be on the line
2x + 5y = -10.
What’s the slope ?

Answer 1

`-(2)/(5)`

Explanation:

Given expression:

2x + 5y = -10

The equation of a straight line is;

y = mx + c

y and x are the coordinates

m is the slope

c is the intercept

Now;

let us write the given expression in slope intercept format;

2x + 5y = -10

5y = -2x - 10

y =
`-(2x)/(5)` - 2

So, the slope of the line is
`-(2)/(5)`
