Question

Convert this equation to slope-intercept form:

25x + 10y = 1,000

Answer 1

y = -2.5x + 100

Explanation:

25x + 10y = 1,000

10y = -25x + 1000

y = -2.5x + 100

Answer 2

y = -2.5x +100

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

We need to solve for y

25x+ 10y =1000

Subtract 25x from each side

25x-25x+10y = -25x +1000

10y = -25x+1000

Divide each side by 10

10y/10 = -25x/10 +1000/10

y = -2.5x +100
