Question

Determine the slope and y-intercept of the graph: 2x + 5y = 10

Answer 1

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
