What is the slope of the equation below?
2y = 10x – 8
A.2
B.-8
C.10
D.5

D) 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Divide 2 from all terms within the equation:

(2y)/2 = (10x - 8)/2

y = (10x)/2 - (8)/2

y = 5x - 4

Note the slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

y = y

x = x

m = slope

b = y-intercept.

In this case, 5 is in place of m, or your slope.

D) 5 is your answer.

-7/8

step-by-step explanation:

instead of subtracting you add the -6/8 and -1/8

-12 > a

step-by-step explanation:

-11 > 1 + a

subtract 1 from each side

-11-1 > 1-1+a

-12 > a
