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
