Answer:
y = -4x - 5
Explanation:
-8x - 2y = 10
Move the -8x term to the other side of the equation by adding 8x to each side.
-8x - 2y = 10
-8x + 8x - 2y = 10 + 8x
-2y = 10 + 8x
Now divide both sides by -2 to isolate the 'y':
-2y/-2 = (10+8x)/-2
y = -5 - 4x
You can rewrite this in the form requested this way:
y = -4x - 5
