Question

How do you find the slope given 8x-5y=4?

Answer 1

`"slope "=8/5`

Explanation:

`"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"` is.

`•color(white)(x)y=mx+b`

`"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"`

`"rearrange "8x-5y=4" into this form"`

`"subtract "8x" from both sides "`

`-5y=-8x+4`

`"divide all terms by "-5`

`rArry=8/5x-4/5larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"`

`"with slope "=8/5`
