Given the line:

y = -2/5x + 4/5

Determine the slope of the line.

Explanation:

The slope of the line can be determined by looking at the slope-intercept form equation,

y = mx + b

m is considered to be the slope of the line, whereas it can easily be noticed once the equation is in slope-intercept form, hence it is attached to the term x. Based on the given equation, the slope of the line is - 2/5.

y = -2/5x + 4/5

m = -2/5

Final answer:

m = -2/5
