find the slope 5y=8

Question

the title says it all. I thought I solved it right

5y=8, y=5/8, 5(5\8)=8, slope=8

but apparently that isn't how you solve it so i could really use some help.

Answer 1

Remember what is slope. If you have equation of the line in the form y=kx+b, then k is the slope. Now, write your equation in this form, that is y=0*x+5/8

 k=0.

So the slope is 0 and this is an equation of the line, graph of which is parallel to x-axis.
