Question

2x + 5y = -10
rewrite the equation in slope intercept form then identify the slope and the y intercept of the line

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

2x + 5y = - 10 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

5y = - 2x - 10 ( divide the terms by 5 )

y = - $\frac{2}{5}$ x - 2 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{2}{5}$ and y- intercept c = - 2
