Math Problem Statement

Find the slope of the line: y = 2/5x + 2

Solution

The equation provided is in the slope-intercept form:

y=mx+by = mx + b

Where:

  • mm is the slope,
  • bb is the y-intercept.

In your equation:

y=25x+2y = \frac{2}{5}x + 2

The slope mm is the coefficient of xx, which is 25\frac{2}{5}.

Thus, the slope of the line is:

25\boxed{\frac{2}{5}}

Would you like further details or have any questions? Here are 5 related questions that might expand on this:

  1. What is the y-intercept of the given equation?
  2. How can you find the slope of a line given two points?
  3. Can the slope be negative, and what does that indicate about the line?
  4. How would you graph this equation based on its slope and y-intercept?
  5. What is the slope of a vertical or horizontal line?

Tip: Remember, the slope represents how steep the line is. A positive slope means the line rises from left to right, while a negative slope means it falls.
