Question

Slope of y=-5.5
Slope of 4x-4y=22

Answer 1

slope of y = -5.5 is 0.

Slope of 4x - 4y = 22 is 1

Explanation:

y = -5.5 is a horizontal line going through -5.5. The slope does not go up or down so we say that the slope is zero.

4x - 4y = 22 Subtract 4x from both sides

4x - 4x - 4y = -4x + 22

-4y = -4x + 22 Divide all the way through by -4

`(-4y)/(-4)` =
`(-4x)/(-4)` +
`(22)/(-4)`

y = x -
`(22)/(4)`

The sloe is the number before the x. If we do not see a number, we assume it is 1.
