Question

What is the slope of the line 5y = 2x - 15?

Answer 1

2/5 is the slope of the line 5y = 2x - 15

Explanation:

y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept.

5y = 2x - 15

Divide both sides by 5.

y = 2/5x - 3

2/5 =m

2/5=slope

Answer 2

2/5x

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope intercept form:

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

1) Rearrange the terms so it matches y = mx + b. In this case, it is already rearranged.

5y = 2x - 15

2) Divide the terms by 5.

y = 2/5x - 3
