Question

Write the equation in slope-intercept form. What are the slope and y-intercept?
-2x-11y=5
A.y=2/11x+5/11;slope:5/11;y-intercept: 2/11
B. y=2/11x+5/11;slope:2/11;y-intercept: 5/11
C. y=2/11x-5/11;slope:2/11;y-intercept: -5/11
D. y=2/11x-5/11;slope:-2/11;y-intercept: -5/11

Answer 1

usually takes 2 steps:
1. keep the y term on one side ...
-11y = 2x + 5
2. divide by the coefficient of the y term
y = (-2/11)x - 5/11

so the slope is -2/11, y-intercept is -5/11

looks like D. but you have a typo in there
