Question

what is the slope of the line represented by the equation 2x+5y=15

1 Answer

  • 2x + 5y = 15

    Subtract 2x from both sides:
    5y = -2x + 15

    Divide both sides by 5:
    y = -2/5 x + 3

    Given that y = mx + b,  where m is the slope.
    ⇒ Slope = -2/5

    Answer: Slope = -2/5
