Question

Find the slope of the line. 4y-2x= -30

Answer 1

0.5

Explanation:

To find the slope of the line you have write this in slope intercept form.

That is,

y = mx + c.

Here,

m - Slope

c - y intercept

Now, to write this expression in slope intercept form, you have to make y the subject of this expression.

`4y - 2x = - 30`

Add 2x to both sides.

4y = 2x - 30

Now divide both sides by 4.

y = 2/4x - 30/4

Accordingly,

`y = 0.5x - 7.5`

Slope of the line (m) = 0.5

Answer 2

The slope is 1/2

Explanation:

To find the slope of the line, put the equation in slope intercept form.

y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

4y -2x = -30

Add 2x to each side

4y -2x+2x = 2x-30

4y = 2x-30

Divide by 4

4y/4 = 2x/4 -30/4

y = 1/2x -15/2

The slope is 1/2
