:
Find the slope by putting the equations in the slope/intercept form, namely:
y = mx + b; where m = the slope; sorry about the =
:
1. Y = 2x - 4
This equation is already in this form, therefore the slope (m) = +2
:
:
2. 2x + 5y - 7 = 0
we want to isolate y on the left by itself
5y = -2x + 7
y has to have a coefficient of 1, therefore divide both sides by 5:
y = x +
the slope (m) =
;
:
3. 3y = -4x + 1/2
Divide both sides by 3:
y = x + ()
y = x +
slope (m) =
