Question

Guys help! Determine the slope and the y-intercept of the line whose equation is given.

2y + 5x −8 = 0

Answer 1

use the formula y = mx+b

Answer 2

wherein m is your slope

Answer 3

y = (-5/2) x +8

Answer 4

\[\frac{ Rise }{ Run }\] Is a tip that always used to help me :P

Answer 5

oops it should be y = (-5/2) x +8/2

Answer 6

y = -5/2x +4

Answer 7

b is your y-intercept

Answer 8

so your slope is -5/2 and your y-intercept is?

Answer 9

You want to get this into y = mx + b form to determine this! So what you need to do is:

- add 8 to both sides so you have 2y + 5x = 8
-now you need to subtract 5x from both sides so you have 2y = -5x + 8
-next you need to divide EVERYTHING by 2! So now you'll get y = -5x over 2 + 4

m (or -5x/2) is your slope and your b is 4!

Hope this helped! Have a lovely day! <3
