Question

Find the slope and y intercept of 2x-5y=7

Answer 1

Slope: 2/5

y-intercept: -7/5

y=2/5 - 7/5: Slope and y-intercept together.

Explanation:

Slope formula is y=mx+b

Answer 2

slope =
`(2)/(5)` , y- intercept = -
`(7)/(5)`

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

given

2x - 5y = 7 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- 5y = - 2x + 7 ( divide through by - 5 )

`(-5)/(-5)` y =
`(-2)/(-5)` x +
`(7)/(-5)` , that is

y =
`(2)/(5)` x -
`(7)/(5)` ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m =
`(2)/(5)` and y- intercept c = -
`(7)/(5)`
