@ParthKohli

3. tanvirms Group Title

if you change the equation a bit, it'd be y= -5x/2 + 10, so the slope is -5/2

4. dmezzullo Group Title

Can u explain tht in more detail?

5. ParthKohli Group Title

@tanvirms Yo!

6. ParthKohli Group Title

@dmezzullo Basically, you have to get the equation in the form $$y = \rm something...$$

7. tanvirms Group Title

get the equation y+something, and the constant (or numerical) part with x (with its sign) will be the slope

9. dmezzullo Group Title

ok

10. aundria Group Title

5 halves

@dmezzullo Do you know what it means to "solve" for a variable?

12. dmezzullo Group Title

13. ParthKohli Group Title

No, like solving for $$y$$ means to get $$y$$ on the left side and the other junk on the right

14. dmezzullo Group Title

lol i like how u worded it

15. ParthKohli Group Title

Heh, so get $$y$$ on the left and the other junk on right.

16. dmezzullo Group Title
