Answer:

The x- intercept is 5, the y-intercept is -2, the slope is -2/5

Explanation:

How?

Well, the equation was 2x-5y=10

you would have to change the y to 0 to find the x-intercept

the equation would then be 2x-5(0) = 10

Then, you'd get 2x=10 because 5x0 is 0 and doesn't have to be included in this situation

to isolate the x you would then divide both sides by 2 and you would get

x=5.

Next, solve your equation for y.

You'd change the x to 0 making it 2(0) - 5y = 10

Again, 2 x 0 is 0, which doesn't have to be included, so the equation is

-5y = 10

To isolate the y, you'd divide by -5 on both sides

You'd get y = -2

Now to find the slope you'd do y1 - y over x1 -x

Your points are now 5,0 and 0,-2

-2 - 0 = -2

5-0 = 5

so your slope is

2/5

I HOPE THIS HELPED! (purrrrr!)
