Lesson 1.3: Standard Form of a Line

Question 10 • (OC27) MATH COLL LIB ARTS-1207350-S1-Maguire-D'Aquino

What is the slope of the line 4x – 2y = 5?

Answer
A
–4
B
–2
C
2
D
4

Explanation

Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope. From 4x − 2y = 5, subtract 4x to get −2y = 5 − 4x, then divide by −2: y = 2x − 2.5. The slope is 2, so the correct choice is C, 2.
