write the equation in slope intercept form what are the slope and Y intercept -2x -11y=5

2 answers

The slope-intercept form of a straight line:

y = m x + b

where

m is the slope

b is y-intercept

In this case:

- 2 x - 11 y = 5

Add 2 x to both sides

- 11 y = 2 x + 5

Divide both sides by - 11

y = - 2 / 11 x - 5 / 11

slope = - 2 / 11

y-intercept = - 5 / 11
y = m x + b ... m is the slope , b is the y-intercept

y = -2/11 x - 5/11
