Answer by neatmath(302) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You just need to solve the equation for y.
Then the coefficient of the x-variable will be your slope.
Thus, the slope of this line is 5.
Also, the y-intercept of this line is 5/2, or the point (0,5/2).
This form of the function is known as slope-intercept form, and is quite useful for sketching lines.
I hope this helps! Keep practicing! :)
