Question

What is the slope of `6y=2y-5x+1`?

Answer 1

`"slope "=-5/4`

Explanation:

`"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"` is.

`•color(white)(x)y=mx+b`

`"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"`

`"rearrange the given equation into this form"`

`"subtract "2y" from both sides"`

`rArr4y=-5x+1`

`"divide all terms by 4"`

`rArry=-5/4x+1/4larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"`

`"with slope m "=-5/4`
