Question

X+5y=-5 slope and y-intercept

Answer 1

You take the x and subtract it from both side that will leave you with 5y= -x-5 , then you take the 5 from 5y and divide it with everything that will leave you with y= -1/5x- 1. The slope would be -1/5 and the y-intercept is -1

Answer 2

First, you'd need to transform the equation into y = mx + b

To do this, set up the original equation and solve for y.

x + 5 y = -5
Subtract x from both sides.
5y = -5 - x
Now, divide by 5 into both sides to leave y on one side.
y = -1 -x/5

With this new equation, just shift the numbers on the right of y to create a y = mx + b equation

y = -x/5 - 1

Therefore, you're y intercept is -1 and you're slope is -x/5.

Hope this helps!
