Question

Write 5x−4y=10 in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

y = 1.25x - 2.5

Explanation:

To write the equation of a line in line in slope intercept form,

we can use y = mx + c

According to the question, writing the given equation in slope intercept form makes y the subject.

5x - 4y = 10

First, subtract 5x from both sides.

- 4y = 10 - 5x

Now, divide both sides by -4.

`(-4y)/(-4)=(10-5x)/(-4) \\\\y = (-5x)/(-4)+(10)/(-4)\\\\y= 1.25x-2.5`
