start with 2x - 3y = 5 add 3y to each side, 2x - 3y + 3y = 5 + 3y :: 2x = 5 + 3y subtract 5 from each side, 2x - 5 = 5 - 5 + 3y :: 2x - 5 = 3y divide each side by 3, (2x - 5)/3 = (3y)/3 :: (2/3)x - (5/3) = y the slope is the coefficient of "x" when the equation takes the form y = mx +b Therefore, the slope of the line is 2/3, approximately 0.667

What is a slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is y equals 5x 4?
The slope is 5. Parallel lines always have the same slope.
What is the slope of any line parallel to the line 2x-3y equals 7?
What is the slope of the line defined by the equation shown below? 5x + 2y = 10 Group of answer choices 2/5 5/2 -2/5 -5/2
What is the slope of every line perpendicular to the graph of this equation 4x plus 5y equals 7?
4x+5y = 7 5y = -4x+7 y = -4/5x+7/5 in slope intercept form So the slope of the perpendicular line is plus 5/4
What is the slope and y-intercept of the line given by the equation y equals -5x?
The slope is -5. The x- and y-intercepts are both zero. In other words, it passes through the origin.
What is the slope of the line perpendicular to the line passing through the points 5-1 and 2-5?
Points: (5, -1) and (2, -5) Slope: 4/3 Perpendicular slope: -3/4
