Answer:

In the equation y = mx + c the value of m is called the slope, (or gradient), of the line. It can be positive, negative or zero. The value of c is called the vertical intercept of the line. It is the value of y when x = 0. When drawing a line, c gives the position where the line cuts the vertical axis.

1) Write the equation in slope intercept form if

Slope=3/5 and intercept is 2
y = mx + b
m = 3/5 and b = 2
so

equation in slope intercept
y = 3/5(x) + 2

2. Find the x intercept of the line 5x-2y=10

x intercept when y = 0
so
5x-2y=10
5x-2(0)=10
5x = 10
x = 2

answer
x intercept (2 , 0)
