Question

What is the slope of the line?
2x + 4y = 6x - y
Choose 1 answer:

Answer 1

`m=(4)/(5)`

Explanation:

add y to both sides

`2x+4y+y=6x`

add 4y and y

`2x+5y=6x`

subtract 2x from both sides

`5y=6x-2x`

subtract 2x from 6x

`5y=4x`

divide each term by 5

`(5y)/(5) =(4x)/(5)`

cancel common factor

`y=(4x)/(5)`

reorder the term x

`y=(4)/(5)x`

using the slope-intercept form, the slope is
`(4)/(5)`

Answer 2

slope is 4/5
