The slope is 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-Intercept form: y = mx + b
m = slope b = y-int
To find the slope, you must rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form by using inverse operations to isolate the y.
1) Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation:
2x - 2x - 5y = 9 - 2x Result: - 5y = - 2x + 9; Notice the numbers are rearranged to keep the slope-intercept form. As long as you keep the correct sign, you can rearrange them.
2) Divide both sides by - 5:
- 5y / - 5 = - 2x / - 5 + 9 / - 5 Result: y = 2/5x - 9/5
b = - 9/5
m (slope) = 2/5
