What is 5x-20=10y written in slope intercept form? Show your steps.

Answer 1

Slope-Intercept Form:

y = mx + b

y = y-coordinate

m = slope

x = x-coordinate

b = y-intercept

We are given: 5x - 20 = 10y. And based on definition of slope-intercept form, we can see that we need to solve for y as it is the only variable on one side. So, starting with the given equation, we have:

5x - 20 = 10y

(5/10)x - (20/10)= y Divide each side by 10

(1/2)x - 2 = y Simplify fractions by reducing

y = (1/2)x - 2
