OpenStudy (anonymous):

can some one please help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5y=-2x+12 After that, what do you do next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I rewrote the problem for you. What you do next is divide everything by 5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I meant both sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Tell me what you get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-.4+12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5y=-2x-10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it y=.4x-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no y= -\[\frac{ 2 }{ 5 }\]-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):
