Find the Slope 5x-2=0

Problem

5*x−2=0

Solution

1. Identify the type of equation. This is a linear equation in one variable, x which represents a vertical line on the Cartesian plane.

2. Isolate the variable x by adding 2 to both sides and then dividing by 5

5*x=2

x=2/5

3. Determine the slope. For any vertical line of the form x=c the change in x (Δ(x) is zero. Since slope is defined as Δ(y)/Δ(x) and division by zero is undefined, the slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Final Answer

Slope of *5*x−2=0* is undefined
