Write the equation in slope-intercept form. What are the slope and y-intercept? –2x – 11y = 5 (1 point) y = 2 over 11x + 5 over 11; slope: 5 over 11; y-intercept: 2 over 11 y = 2 over 11x + 5 over 11; slope: 2 over 11; y-intercept: 5 over 11 y = 2 over 11x – 5 over 11; slope: 2 over 11; y-intercept: –5 over 11 y = –2 over 11x –5 over 11; slope: –2 over 11; y-intercept: –5 over 11

i don't just want the answer, i would like to know how to do it please.

OpenStudy (hba):

Here, For slope \[\huge \ m=\frac{ -coefficient \ of \ x }{ coefficient \ of \ y }\] For y-intercept, plug in, \[\huge\ x=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just set both of them to zero to get the other? and i got x=-2.5 y=-.45

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now what to i do? is that wrong?

OpenStudy (hba):

Did you plug in x=0 in –2x – 11y = 5

OpenStudy (hba):

So you will get your y-intercept.

OpenStudy (hba):

You do not have to set y=0 as we do not intend to find the x-intercept because it is not asked.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes to get y, then i did the same to get the x interspet.

OpenStudy (hba):

We do not want the x-intercept.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just don't get it , at all. :(

OpenStudy (hba):

Did you set x=0 What did you get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-.45

OpenStudy (hba):

Please tell me in fractions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please help... :( with that too.
