Question

Find the slope of each line.

Answer 1

-5/4

Explanation:

a simple way to find the slope of something from standard form is to use the formula -(a/b)

a is the value in front of the x and b is the value in front of the y

this creates the slope

-5/4

that is your answer

Answer 2

The slope of the line is -5/4

Explanation:

19) = Solution :-

5x+4y = 20

Let's keep x's value 0,

so

we get,

5x+4y = 20

or, 5×0+4y = 20

or, 4y = 20

so, y = 5

one coordinate we get (0,5)

Again

Let's keep x's value 4,

we get,

5x+4y = 20

or, 5×4+4y = 20

or, 20+4y=20

or, 4y = 0

so, y = 0

Another coordinate, we get (4,0)

now

slope(m) = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (0-5)/(4-0)

= -5/4
