Find slope for 2x+5y=8?

Get y by itself to be in slope-intercept form, which is: y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y-intercept
To do that subtract 2x from both sides to get: 5y=-2x+8. You're not done yet because y still isn't by itself so you divide both sides by five and you get: y= -2/5x+8/5
m= -2/5 which is the slope so the slope is equal to -2/5
