Answer: y = 5x + 8

Explanation:

-10x - 2y = 16 —> add 10x to each side

2y = 16 - (-10x) —> add the opposite & flip the numbers so the variable is closest to the equal sign

2y = 10x + 16 —> divide 2 by each side

y = 10x/2 + 16/2 —> simplify

y = 5x + 8

Answer:

The slope is 5 and the slope or y intercept is 8 and the equation is y = -5x + 8.

Explanation:

Turn it into -2y = 10x + 16

Then divide by -2

y=-5x+8

The slope is 5 and the slope or y intercept is 8 and the equation is y = -5x + 8.
