Question

The equation of a straight line is 2y=5x-2

Find the gradient and co-ordinates of the y-intercept

Answer 1

2y=5x-2

Write the equation in the form of y = mx + b

where m is the gradient and b is the y-intercept.

Therefore, 2y=5x-2 will be:

y = 5/2x - 1

Gradient is 5/2

and y-intercept is (0,-1)
