Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation 5y - 10x = 20?
Correct Answer: 2
  • Step 1: Start with the equation 5y - 10x = 20.
  • Step 2: Add 10x to both sides to isolate the term with y. This gives you 5y = 10x + 20.
  • Step 3: Now, divide every term by 5 to solve for y. This results in y = (10/5)x + (20/5).
  • Step 4: Simplify the fractions. This gives you y = 2x + 4.
  • Step 5: Identify the slope from the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope. Here, m = 2.
