Answer 1

2/5y = 2x+4

(5/2) 2/5y= 2X (5/2) + 4 multiply both sides of the equation by 5/2 or the reciprocal of 2/5 to cancel the 2/5y. This isolates the y on the left side of the equation. Multiply each term on the right by 5/2.

y= 2x (5/2) + 4 (5/2)

y = 10x/2 + (20/2)

5x + 10

y= 5x + 10

m or the slope of the line = 5

Answer 2

multiply both sides of the equation by 5/2 so y stands alone on the left side and equation in form y-mx+b where m is the slope.

2/5y = 2x + 4

y = 5/2 (2x + 4)

y = 5x + 10

so slope is 5.
