ax%2Bby=1
When x=0,
b%284%2F5%29=1
b=5%2F4
When y=0,
a%282%29=1
a=1%2F2
So then,
%281%2F2%29x%2B%285%2F4%29y=1
%285%2F4%29y=-%281%2F2%29x%2B1
highlight%28y=-%288%2F5%29x%2B4%2F5%29

Find the slope-intercept form for the line satisfying the following conditions.
x-intercept 2, y-intercept 4/5 (4 over 5)
The slope-intercept form for the line is ?


Determine slope by using the slope formula, and the 2 intercept-points: (2, 0) and (0%22%2C%224%2F5),

or the point, (2, 0), and the y-intercept: 4%2F5.

This should give you the equation: highlight_green%28y+=+%28-+2%2F5%29x+%2B+4%2F5%29
