Answer
d. x - 2y = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer you chose does have the correct y intercept, but the incorrect slope, it was asking for a slope of 1/2, not a slope of -2.
REMEMBER: The y intercept is when x = 0, the x intercept is when y = 0.
To find the y intercept, substitute 0 for x, and solve for y. The slope is the coefficient of x when the coefficient of y is 1.
Just convert this standard form equation into slope intercept.
Standard Form: Ax + By = C.
Slope Intercept: y = mx + b. (m is the slope, b is the y intercept)
To convert just get y by itself completely on the left side of the equation. (y has to have a coefficient of positive 1)
x - 2y = 10
-x -x
-2y = -x + 10
÷2 ÷2 ÷2
-y = -1/2x + 5
×-1 ×-1 ×-1
y = 1/2x - 5 → y = mx + b
m = 1/2, and b = -5
