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 "-2x-5y=6" into this form"#
#"add "2x" to both sides"#
#-5y=2x+6#
#"divide all terms by "-5#
#y=-2/5x-6/5larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"#
#"with slope "=-2/5" and y-intercept "=-6/5#
