Question

Identify the slope and y intercept of the line with equation 2y = 5x + 4

Answer 1

slope: 2.5

y-intercept: 2

Explanation:

First isolate the y variable which changes the equation to y=2.5x+2

The equation of a line is mx + b where m is the slope and b and the

y-intercept. Leading us to conclude that 2.5 is the slope and 2 is the y-intercept.

Answer 2

Slope is 5/2

y-intercept is 2

Explanation:

Turn the equation into slope intercept form [ y = mx + b ].

2y = 5x + 4

~Divide everything by 2

y = 5/2x + 2

Remember that in slope intercept form, m = slope and b = y-intercept.

Best of Luck!
