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

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

y & x = (x , y)

m = slope

b = y-intercept

First, isolate the y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, subtract 4x from both sides:

4x (-4x) - 2y = 5 (-4x)

-2y = 5 - 4x

Next, divide -2 from both sides:

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

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

Simplify:

y = 2x - 5/2

y = 2x - 2.5

Your slope of the line is 2.
