ANSWER:
The slope of the line 10x + 5y = 20 is – 2 and y – intercept is 4.
SOLUTION:
Given, linear line equation is 10x + 5y = 20
We have to find the slope of the given equation along with the y – intercept.
Now, as we require both slope of the line and y – intercept of the line,
Let us convert the given equation into slope intercept form
The slope intercept form is given as
y = mx + c
Where m is slope and c is y – intercept
So, now our equation ⇒ 10x + 5y = 20
⇒ 5y = -10x + 20
⇒ y = -2x + 4 [by cancelling 5 on both sides]
Now, compare our equation with general form, then, m= -2 and c= 4
Hence, the slope of the line is – 2 and y – intercept is 4.
