Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the slope of the line represented by the equation $2x + 11y = 5$, we first need to solve for $y$ in terms of $x$ to get it into slope-intercept form ($y = mx + b$), where $m$ is the slope. Rearranging the equation gives $11y = -2x + 5$, and then dividing by 11 gives $y = -\frac{2}{11}x + \frac{5}{11}$. Therefore, the slope $m$ is $-\frac{2}{11}$.
