Question

Which of the following has the same slope as the equation Y=1/2x-10?

a
1/2x - y = 10
b
-x + 3y = 12
c
-1/2x + y = -10
d
-2x + y = -6

Answer 1

Answer:

c. -1/2x + y = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

$- \frac{1}{2} x + y = - 10 \\ y = \frac{1}{2} x - 10$

Changing the order of the equation, you can verify the coefficient of x is the same when y is isolated.

In slope-intercept form, the coefficient of x, or the m in y=mx+b, is the slope or gradient.
