विकल्प

• 5

• `-2/5`

• 8

• `2/5`

Answer 1

For the equation 2x − 5y = 8; slope is `bbunderline(2/5)`.

Explanation:

Rewriting the equation 2x − 5y = 8 in slope-intercept form (y = mx + c):

5y = 2x − 8

y = \[\frac{2}{5}x - \frac{8}{5}\]

The slope (m) of the line is the coefficient of x, which is \[\frac{2}{5}\].
