Question

Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form. 5x+10y=-7

Answer 1

y = -
`(1)/(2)` x -
`(7)/(10)`

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

5x + 10y = - 7 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

10y = - 5x - 7 ( divide all terms by 10 )

y = -
`(1)/(2)` x -
`(7)/(10)`
