50x+25y-5=0
If you put this
problem into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) you will have the slope of your
equation.
Start by adding five to both
sides.
50x+25y=5
Then subtract
50x to both sides. Now your problem is in the correct format, but 'y' isn't alone
yet.
25y=-50x+5
Divide both
sides of the equation by
25.
y=(50/-25)x+5/25
Fifty
divided by negative twenty-five is -2 because the negative sign is interchangeable in
fractions. This number is in the "m" spot of y=mx+b. Therefore, negative two is your
slope because b is your y-intercept, and x and y are your
variables.
