Question

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line.

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope 'm' = $\frac{5}{2}$

And y-intercept = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form of a line is given by the equation,

y = mx + b --------(1)

Here, m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

Given equation is,

5x - 2y = -4

2y = 5x + 4

y = $\frac{5}{2}x+2$

By comparing this equation with equation (1),

Slope 'm' = $\frac{5}{2}$

And y-intercept = 2
