Find the Slope 8-5y=0

$8 - 5 y = 0$

Step 1

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Subtract $8$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 5 y = - 8$

Divide each term in $- 5 y = - 8$ by $- 5$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 5 y = - 8$ by $- 5$ .

$\frac{- 5 y}{- 5} = \frac{- 8}{- 5}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 5 y}{- 5} = \frac{- 8}{- 5}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{- 8}{- 5}$

Simplify the right side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$y = \frac{8}{5}$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $0$ .

$m = 0$
