2Y=5X+4
Y=5/2X+2 Y=mX+b WHERE THE SLOPE IS m OR
5/2

What is the slope of the line whose equation is 2y=5x+4?
We need to put this equation in slope intercept form: highlight%28y=mx%2Bb%29, where m=slope and (0,b)=y-intercept. Hence, the name, "slope intercept form."
2y=5x%2B4
2y%2F2=%285%2F2%29x%2B4%2F2
y=%285%2F2%29x%2B2 The coefficient of x=slope(m).
y=highlight%28%285%2F2%29%29x%2B2
The slope is 5/2.
Happy Calculating!!!
