Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
for a linear equation the slope = the coefficient of the x term when the equation is solved for y
5x+2y = 8
2y = -5x+8
y = (-5/2)x + 4, slope = -5/2 = - 2.5
for graphing find the intercepts and connect them with a straight line
y intercept = 4 = the constant term above
solve the equation for x
5x =-2y+8
x = -2y/5 + 8/5, 8/5 = the x intercept = 1.6
