Question

How do you do this problem... 2x + 5y = 10

Answer 1

ok as we can see this problem has two variables. so unless you have another equation to support it it cannot be solved

Answer 2

the only thing we can do is we can graph the equation. it will turn out to be a straight line

Answer 3

It says to write each equation in slope intercept how do you do that

Answer 4

ok the slope intercept form is

\[y=mx+c\]

Answer 5

so you just need to rearrange the terms to get it into that form

Answer 6

so how do you plug that in

Answer 7

put the y to the left: 5y=-2x+10

Answer 8

Thanks

Answer 9

and then divide each term to 5, you will have the slope intercept form
