\n" );
document.write( "For each equation, find the slope of each equation. If the slope is undefined, state this. The problem is 5x-2=2x-7.
\n" );
document.write( " I have tried finding the slope of this equation by adding the like terms 5x+2x=7x and -2+-7=5.
\n" );
document.write( " I subtracted 5 from both sides and was left with 2x=0, I then divided 2 on both sides and was left with 0.
\n" );
