Question

Write the equation in slope-intercept form, and detemine the slope and y-intercept. Write the y- intercept as an ordered pair.

−x + 5y = −5
The slope is .
The y-intercept is .
The equation written in slope-intercept form is ____________ .

Answer 1

slope= 0.2; intercept=-1; slope-interception form: y=0.2x-1.

Explanation:

1) if to re-write the given equation, then

`y=(1)/(5)x-1;`

or y=0.2x-1;

this equation is slope-interception form;

2) according to the new view of the equation,

the required slope is 1/5;

the required y-intercept is -1.
