Q. What is the slope of the line?\newline7x+2y=57x+2y=5\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) 27-\frac{2}{7}\newline(B) 72\frac{7}{2}\newline(C) 72-\frac{7}{2}\newline(D) 27\frac{2}{7}
  1. Rearrange and Isolate y: Step 11: Rearrange the equation to solve for y in terms of x.\newlineWe start by isolating y on one side of the equation.\newlineSubtract 7x7x from both sides: 2y=7x+52y = -7x + 5.
  2. Divide and Simplify: Step 22: Divide all terms by 22 to solve for yy.\newlineDivide each term by 22: y=(7x+5)/2y = (-7x + 5) / 2.\newlineThis simplifies to y=72x+52y = -\frac{7}{2} * x + \frac{5}{2}.
  3. Identify the Slope: Step 33: Identify the slope from the equation y=mx+by = mx + b.\newlineIn the equation y=72×x+52y = -\frac{7}{2} \times x + \frac{5}{2}, the coefficient of xx is the slope (m)(m).\newlineSo, the slope m=72m = -\frac{7}{2}.
