Question

What is the slope of a line whose equation
is 7x - 5y = 10?

Help me please !

Answer 1

7/5

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b. It is called that because it tells us the slope,m, and the y-intercept, b.

So we can solve your given equation to find m the slope.

7x-5y=10

Subtract 7x on both sides:

-5y=-7x+10

Divide both sides by -5

y=(-7/-5)x+(10/-5)

Simplify:

y=(7/5)x+-2

m=7/5 so 7/5 is the slope.
