Answer:
2. 4x + 5y = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Determine the slope of each of the equations;
y = mx + c
where;
m is the slope
In each of the given equations, make y the subject of the formula
1. 5x + 4y = 20
4y = 20 - 5x
y = (20/4) - (5x/4)
y = 5 - 5x/4
m = -5/4
2. 4x + 5y = 20
5y = 20 - 4x
y = 4 - 4x/5
m = -4/5 = -0.8
3. 5x - 4y = 20
4y = 5x - 20
y = 5x/4 - 5
m = 5/4
4. 4x - 5y = 20
5y = 4x - 20
y = 4x/5 - 4
m = 4/5
The question says, which of the slope is greater than - 1 but less than 0
- 1 < m < 0
The only equation with slope greater than -1 but less than 0 is 4x + 5y = 20, with slope -4/5 = -0.8
