By rewriting the given line, we can see that the slope is equal to -1/2 or -0.5

<h3>How to get the slope of the given line?</h3>

Remember that a line is:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line, which is the point where the line intersects the y-axis.

Then, we can rewrite our equation:

x + 2y = 16

to:

2y = 16 - x

y = (16 - x)/2

y = (-1/2)*x + 8

Comparing with the general line equation, we can see that the slope is -1/2.

Slope-intercept form of the equation for the line?
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{3}{10}x+\dfrac{1}{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points from the graph (-5, 2) and (5, -1).

Substitute:

m=\dfrac{-1-2}{5-(-5)}=\dfrac{-3}{10}=-\dfrac{3}{10}

We have the equation in form:

y=-\dfrac{3}{10}x+b

Put the coordinates of the point (5, -1) to the equation:

-1=-\dfrac{3}{10}(5)+b

-1=-\dfrac{3}{2}+b

-\dfrac{2}{2}=-\dfrac{3}{2}+b            <em>add 3/2 to both sides</em>

\dfrac{1}{2}=b\to b=\dfrac{1}{2}

5(n–2)=5n–10 What is the awnser
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Anything

Step-by-step explanation:

5n - 10 = 5n - 10

It doesn't matter what you put in for n, the equality can never be anything but an equality.

Suppose n = 10,000,000

Then 5*10,000,000 - 10 =  5*10,000,000
