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
Answer:
First number is -2.5
Second number 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Four times the first number minus three times the second number is 2.
To represent this statement, 4x -3y =2
Two times the first number increased by three times the second is 10.
To represent thsi statement, 2x+ 3y = 10
4x - 3y = 2
2x + 3y =10
4x - 2x = 2x
2x = -5
x= -2.5
The first number is -2.5
By using Substitution
2x + 3y = 10
2(-2.5) + 3y = 10
-5 + 3y = 10
3y = 10 +5
3y =15
y = 5
The second number is 5
....To check my answer
-5 + 15 = 10
15 times 3 equals 45 hoped i helped
