Q. A linear equation written in standard form is shown.\newline4x+5y=10 -4 x+5 y=10 \newlineWhat is the slope of the line?\newline45 -\frac{4}{5} \newline54 \frac{5}{4} \newline45 \frac{4}{5} \newline4 -4
  1. Convert to slope-intercept form: Convert the standard form equation to slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b.\newlineThe standard form of the equation is 4x+5y=10-4x + 5y = 10. To find the slope, we need to solve for yy to get the equation into slope-intercept form.
  2. Isolate y term: Add 4x4x to both sides of the equation to isolate the yy term on one side.\newline4x+5y+4x=10+4x-4x + 5y + 4x = 10 + 4x\newlineThis simplifies to:\newline5y=4x+105y = 4x + 10
  3. Solve for y: Divide all terms by 55 to solve for y.\newline5y5=(4x+10)5\frac{5y}{5} = \frac{(4x + 10)}{5}\newlineThis simplifies to:\newliney=(45)x+2y = \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)x + 2
  4. Identify the slope: Identify the slope from the slope-intercept form of the equation.\newlineThe slope-intercept form of the equation is y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope. From the equation y=45x+2y = \frac{4}{5}x + 2, the slope mm is 45\frac{4}{5}.
