Rewrite the equation in slope intercept form y = m x + b and identify the value of m the slope.
- 5y = - 5x + 7
y = x - 7/5
The slope is given by the coefficient of x which is 1.

What is the slope of the line 4x-5y equals 13?
4x-5y = 13 -5y = -4x+13 y = 4/5x-13/5 Slope = 4/5 or 0.8
How do you find the y-intercept of the line 4x plus 5y equals 30?
4x+5y = 30 5y = -4x+30 y = -4/5x+6 in slope intercept form So the y intercept is 6.
Find the slope of a line perpendicular to 3x plus 5y equals 15?
3X + 5Y = 155Y = -3X + 15Y = (-3/5)X + 3The slope of this line is -3/5.The slope of a line perpendicular to it is 5/3.
What equations describes a line that is parallel to 5y x 2?
parallel lines have the same slope. So if you equation if 5y+x=2 for example, you can solve for y and then look at the coefficient of x, that number is the slope. So in the example 5y+x=2, 5y=-x+2 or y=-1/5x+2/5 The slope is -1/5 so any line with that slope will be parallel. The 2/5 is the y intercept or the location where the line hits the y axis. This can be any real number.
What is the slope of the line whose equation is 5y plus 6x - 2 equals 0?
You want to get your equation to the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. 5y+6x-2 = 0 5y = -6x+2 y = -6/5x + 2/5 Slope = -6/5 = -1.2 Y Intercept = 2/5 = 0.4
