- 5y = - 2 - 4x
5y = 2 + 4x
y = 2/5 + 4/5x
the slope is 4/5

solve for y :
4x +2 = 5y
4x/5 +2/5 =y or y = .8x +.4
remember the slope intercept form of the linear equation is
y = mx + b wher m is the slope of the line: since our equation is in the form we can read the slope directly:
m= slope = .8

steps
1.) bring 4x to right side. u will have
-5y = -4x-2
2.) then divide -5 on both sides. u will have y = 4/5 x + 2/5
3.) confirm from the slope-intercept form y=mx+b (m equals slope and b equals y-intercept)
4.) the slope is 4/5
ANSWER: 4/5

4/5, because you subtract the 4x from each side to get -5y=-4x-2 then dividing each side by -5 to get y = 4/5x + 2/5

4x - 5y = -2
Solve for y getting:
-5y = -4x - 2
y = 4x/5 +2/5
The slope is the coefficient of x which is 4/5.

all you need to do is solve the equation for y.
-5y=-4x-2
y=4/5x+.4
THen identify the coeffcient of x. In this case it is 4/5. Hope that helps...

slope intercept form is y=mx+b. "m" is your slope and "b" is your y intercept. Please don't ask people for the answer. ask them how to do it and then do it yourself or you will never learn.
