How do i find the slope and y intercept ?
2 answers:
Here are the instructions. Then we'll do your specific problem.
Step 1: Solve the equation for y, and write it in the form y = mx + b.
Step 2: The slope is m, and the y-intercept is b.
Now let's start.
-2x - 5y = -20
To solve for y, we first add 2x to both sides.
-5y = 2x - 20
Now we divide both sides by -5.
Now we compare what we got with the form, y = mx + b.
We see that m = -2/5, and b = 4. m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.
slope: -2/5
y-intercept: 4

<u>ANSWER</u>
is an example of literal equation.
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
A literal equation is an equation in which letters or variables are used to represent real values.
A literal equation consists of at least two letters or variables.
The first option consists of two variables but it is not an equation. It is just an expression.
The second option is not a literal equation because it consists of only one variable. This is just a linear equation in one variable. But a literal equation should have at least two variables or letters.
As for the third option, it does not even contain a variable or letter.
