Question

How do you convert 10x-5y=20 into slope intercept form and identify the slope and y- intercept?

Answer 1

The slope intercept form of an equation has the next general form:

`y=mx+b`

You can identify the slope m in this form as the value next to the x

And the y- intercept (the point where x=0) as the b, with coordinates (0,b)

As you have the equation:

`10x-5y=20`

You can convert it by clearing the y, as follow:

You organize it and get the slope intercept form:
`y=2x+4`The slope of this equation is m=2The y-intercept is 4 with coordinates (0, 4)
