Answer:
y = -2.5x + 4
Explanation:
Slope intercept form: y = mx + b
Isolate the variable y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, subtract 5x from both sides.
5x (-5x) + 2y = 8 (-5x)
2y = 8 - 5x
Next, divide 2 from both sides to isolate the y.
(2y)/2 = (8 - 5x)/2
y = (-5/2)x + (8/2)
y = -2.5x + 4
y = -2.5x + 4 is your answer.
