What is the slope of the line # 4x- 5y = -1 #?

Answer 1

Hazel Anglin

The slope is #4/5#.

The definition of the slope is

#m=-A/B#

for the line that is symbolized by

#Ax+By+C=0#

When the values are entered, the slope is

#m = -(4/-5)#

which is #4/5#.

To find the slope of the line, rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope.

Given equation: 4x - 5y = -1 Rearranging: -5y = -4x - 1 Dividing by -5: y = (4/5)x + 1/5

So, the slope of the line is 4/5.
