Question

Find the slope of the line described by each equation.-2x - 5y = 10 4x + 2y = 8 -6x + 2y = 12 8y - 4x = 32 6y + 8x = 24

Answer 1

For the first line:

$5y=-2x-10$$y=-\frac{2}{5}x-2$

then the slope of the first line is -2/5

For the second line:

$2y=-4x+8$$y=-2x+4$

then the slope of the second line is -2

Third line:

$2y=6x+12$$y=3x+6$

then the slope of the third line is 3

fourth line:

$8y=4x+32$$y=\frac{1}{2}x+4$

then the slope of the fourth line is 1/2

Fifth line:

$6y=-8x+24$$y=-\frac{4}{3}x+4$

then the slope of the fifth line is -4/3
