Question

Which equation is equivalent to 2x+5y=-2?

(A) y=5/2x-5/2
(B) y=-5/2x-5/2
(C) y=2/5x-2/5
(D) y=-2/5x-2/5

Answer 1

Let’s isolate y using inverse operations to convert this into slope intercept form. Choose the equivalent one after that!

Answer 2

Hi there! The answer is D.

To find our solution we must isolate y.


`2x + 5y = - 2`
First subtract 2x from both sides.


`5y = - 2x - 2`
Now we can divide both sides of the equation by 5.


`y = - (2)/(5) x - (2)/(5)`
Therefore, the answer is D. y=-2/5x-2/5
