So the problem has no symbols, but we're going to multiply because the fraction on the left is right next to the parentheses.
-5/2 * 1/10x = -5x/20
I put "x" next to the 5 because the "x" counts as part of the numerator. Now that it's 5x over 20 that equals one, I'd first reduce -5x/20 into -x/4, then do
-x/4 * -4 = 1 * -4
To make the "x" side equal one, we have to multiply both sides by -4, to make both sides equal.
x = -4.
The y-intercept is changed from 2 to -4.
That means that the point that the graph crosses the y axis has been moved down by 6.
Since the slope of the line has not changed, this just means the graph of the line will be moved down by 6.
Hope this helps!
