Answer:

y=-2/5x

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a linear function is y = mx +b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Currently, 2x + 5y = 0 is in standard form and we can convert it to slope intercept form by simply isolating y (put the equation in terms of y):


(2x+5y=0)-2x\\(5y=-2x)/5\\y=-2/5x
