Explanation:
#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.
#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#
#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#
#"rearrange "5y-4x+10=0" into this form"#
#"add 4x and subtract 10 from both sides"#
#rArr5y=4x-10#
#"divide all terms by 5"#
#rArry=4/5x-2larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"#
#"with slope "=4/5" and y-intercept "=-2#
See below:
Explanation:
The equation of the line is
So
This is in the form of
where;
#y# -intercept#(c)=-2# - slope
#(m)=4/5#
Hope this will help you :)
