Answers
GPT 3.5
To find the slope and y-intercept of the equation -2x = 2y + 5, we need to rewrite the equation into the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) first.
Starting with -2x = 2y + 5, let's isolate y:
-2x - 5 = 2y
Next, divide the entire equation by 2 to solve for y:
y = (-2/2)x - 5/2
y = -x - 5/2
Now, we can see that the slope (m) is -1 and the y-intercept (b) is -5/2.
