To find the slope of a linear equation, you need to put it into Slope-Intercept form. Which is y=mx+b. So you will have to rearrange it to this form. So you currently have 2x+5y=-1. Move the 2x to the other side by subtracting. Now you have 5y=-2x-1. You need to get one y, so you divide the whole equation by 5 to get y=-2/5x-1/5. The slope is mx, so it is -2/5x.

What is the slope of line Y equals 2x plus 2?
Slope is 2.
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x plus y equals 8?
For the line 2x + y = 8 , the slope equals ( -2 ) so the required slope of the line which is perpendicular to it is equal to (+1/2 )
Find the slope of each line 2x plus y equals 10?
2x+y = 10 or y = -2x + 10 so the slope is -2
Find the slope of the line 2x plus 3y-4 equals 0?
answer is y=(4/3)-(2x/3)
What is the slope and y-intercept of the line y equals -2x plus 4?
the slope is - 2 and the y intercept is 4
