Question

5x + 2y = 18 what is the slope- intercept form

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope intercept form is y=-5/2x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

the y-intercept is −9 and the point is (0,−9)

the x-intercept is −3.6 and the point is (−3.6,0)

Explanation:

First, we find the slope and y-intercept

Now, the equation of a line is of the form

y=mx+c

Where,

m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept.

Let us write the given line in the standard form:

y=−5x2−82⇒y=−5x2−9

Comparing y=mx+c

to the given equation, y=−5x2−9

m=−52 and c=−9⇒Slope =−52and

y-intercept =−9

Next, we work out the

x-intercept.

the x-intercept is the point where the line cuts the x-axis. i.e. to find the point when y=0.
