Solve for x
- 1/5 (x – 4) = -2
Enter your answer in the box.
x =

-1/5 (x - 4) = -2

(-1/5)x + (4/5) = -2    

-2 can be turned into -10/5

(-1/5)x = (-10/5) - (4/5)

(-1/5)x = -14/5

multiply by -5 on both sides

x = 14

hope this helps :)

To find the slope, we will use the slope formula and two points that are on the line. You can choose any two points as long as they are on the line.

Point 1 = (0, -2)

Point 2 = (-2, 0)

Slope-Formula: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Now that we know our two points and the slope formula, all that's left to do is plug the points into the formula and simplify.

(0 - - 2) / (-2 - 0)

(2) / (-2)

-1

The slope of the line is -1.

Hope this helps!! :)
