Write down the slopes of the following lines:
`7x-5y+8=0`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To find the slope of the line given by the equation \(7x - 5y + 8 = 0\), we will convert the equation into the slope-intercept form, which is \(y = mx + c\), where \(m\) represents the slope. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Start with the given equation:** \[ 7x - 5y + 8 = 0 \] 2. **Rearrange the equation to isolate \(y\):** \[ -5y = -7x - 8 \] 3. **Multiply through by -1 to make \(y\) positive:** \[ 5y = 7x + 8 \] 4. **Divide every term by 5 to solve for \(y\):** \[ y = \frac{7}{5}x + \frac{8}{5} \] 5. **Identify the slope \(m\):** From the equation \(y = \frac{7}{5}x + \frac{8}{5}\), we see that the slope \(m\) is: \[ m = \frac{7}{5} \] ### Conclusion: The slope of the line \(7x - 5y + 8 = 0\) is \(\frac{7}{5}\). ---
