Question

Let the equation of a line be described by Equation A:

10y - 5x = 40
What are the y-intercept and slope of the line?

Can you explain this equation in detail.

Answer 1

10y - 5x = 40 Add 5x to both sides
10y = 5x + 40 Divide both sides by 10
y =
`(1)/(2)`x + 4

The y-intercept is 4 and the slope of the line is
`(1)/(2)`.

You can find these by comparing your equation to the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.
