Question

2x + 5y = -10

rewrite the equation in slope intercept form then identify the slope and the y intercept of the line

Answer 1

see explanation

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 = - 10 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

5y = - 2x - 10 ( divide the terms by 5 )

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

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