Answer:

  • slope = -2/5
  • y-intercept = -2

Explanation:

Compare your equation ...

y = (-2/5)x +(-2)

to the slope-intercept form ...

y = mx + b . . . . where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Matching these patterns, you should be able to see that ...

m = -2/5 = slope

b = -2 = y-intercept
