Question

Which equation is equivalent to 2x+5y=-2?

Answer 1

Let’s isolate y using inverse operations to convert this into slope intercept form. Choose the equivalent one after that!

Answer 2

Hi there! The answer is D.

To find our solution we must isolate y.

$2x + 5y = - 2$
First subtract 2x from both sides.

$5y = - 2x - 2$
Now we can divide both sides of the equation by 5.

$y = - \frac{2}{5} x - \frac{2}{5}$
Therefore, the answer is D. y=-2/5x-2/5
