Question

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of each line.5x+10=-2y

Answer 1

Write in slope-intercept form;

`\begin{gathered} 5x+10=-2y \\ \text{Make y the subject of the equation;} \\ 2y=-5x-10 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 2} \\ y=(-5x-10)/(2) \\ y=(-5x)/(2)-(10)/(2) \\ y=-(5)/(2)x-5 \end{gathered}`

The slope intercept form of the line is therefore;

y = -5/2x - 5
