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=-(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=(1)/(2)x+4`

then the slope of the fourth line is 1/2

Fifth line:

`6y=-8x+24`
`y=-(4)/(3)x+4`

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