Slope is -2/5 and y-intercept is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Write the equation in slope-intercept form y = mx + b
2x + 5y = 10
5y = -2x + 10
y = -2/5 x + 10/5
y = -2/5 x + 2
- Step 2: Find the slope and y-intercept from the equation.
Slope, m = -2/5
y-intercept, b = 2
Given:
The expression is:

To find:
Part A: The expression using parentheses so that the expression equals 23.
Part B: The expression using parentheses so that the expression equals 3.
Solution:
Part A:
In option A,

[Using BODMAS]

In option B,
