Question

Put 2x-10y=-20 in slope intercept form

Answer 1

Slope-intercept

The form for slope-intercept is:

`\sf{y=mx+b}`

where m is our slope and b is our y-intercept.

The line's equation is in standard form, and we need to convert it to

y = mx + b.

Given equation:

`\sf{2x-10y=-20}`

Subtract 2x from both sides

`\sf{-10y=-20-2x}`

Remove each minus

`\sf{10y=20+2x}`

Now, divide each term by 10

`\sf{y=\cfrac{20}{10}+\cfrac{2}{10}x}`

`\sf{y=2+\cfrac{1}{5}x}`

`\stackrel{answer}{\boxed{\sf{y=\cfrac{1}{5}x+2}}}`
