Answer:

-1/5

y=-1/5 x-8

-1/5 is the slope

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/5

Formula-    y=mx+b

The slope-intercept form is

y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y=mx+b

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

Simplify the left side

Simplify each term.

Combine 1/8 and x.

x/9+5y/8=-5

Subtract x/8 from both sides of the equation.

5y/8=-5-x/8

Multiply both sides of the equation by8/5.

8/5.5y/8=8/5(-5-x/8)

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Simplify 8/5.5y/8

y=-x/5-8

y=-1/5 x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

1/8x + 5/8y =-5

Now write it in standard form like ax+by+c=0

1/8x + 5/8y + 5= 0

Now,slope of line (m) = -a/b

here value of a is 1/8 and value of b is 5/8

now by formula..

-(1/8)÷(5/8) = m(slope)

-1/8 × 8/5 = m

-1/5 = m

here ia your answer
