Question

Equation of straight line is 5x+2y=0, slope of the straight line is?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

y = mx + c

We are using the same concept .

Bring 5x + 2y = 0 in y = mx+ c format :

2y = -5x + 0

y = -5/2 x + 0

So , m denotes the slope .

That implies slope = -5/2.

As simple as that :)
