Question

What is the slope of 4x+5y= -10

Answer 1

`-(4)/(5)`

Explanation:

To find the slope, rearrange the equation to y=mx+b or y=mx+c.

`4x+5y=-10`

Subtract 4x from both sides:

`5y=-10-4x`

Divide 5 on both sides:

`y=(-10-4x)/(5)`

`y=-(4)/(5) x-2`

In the equation of y=mx+b/y=mx+c, m will be the slope.

Therefore, the slope is
`-(4)/(5)`
