slope =−25, y-intercept =−65

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is.

∙xy=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=−25x−65←in slope-intercept form

with slope =−25 and y-intercept =−65
