Find the gradient from this equation 2x + 5y = 1

Answer:-2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Now the above equation can be rewritten as 5y = - 2x+1

Dividing this expression through by 5, we have 5y/5 = - 2x/5 + 1/5

y = (-2/5) x + 1/5

Comparing with the general equation of a line;

y = mx + c; m = gradient; C = constant along the y-axis

m = - 2/5
