Question

Solve the equation for y in terms of x. In other words, algebraically rearrange the equation so that the y variable is by itself one side of the equation. Type your answer in the form y=mx+b. If you have a value that is not an integer then type it rounded to the nearest hundredth. Do not put spaces between your characters.5x+2y=0y=Answer

Answer 1

we have the equation

5x+2y=0

solve for y

step 1

subtract 5x on both sides

5x+2y-5x=0-5x

simplify

2y=-5x

step 2

Divide by 2 on both sides

2y/2=-5x/2

y=-(5/2)x

y=-2.50x
