2x+5y=10 slope and y intercept

1 answer

To find the slope and y-intercept of the equation 2x + 5y = 10, we first need to put it in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Starting with the equation 2x + 5y = 10, we can isolate y by subtracting 2x from both sides and then dividing by 5:

5y = -2x + 10
y = (-2/5)x + 2

Now we can see that the slope of the equation is -2/5, and the y-intercept is 2.
