Question 134823: I know I have to set this to Y= in order to find the points for the x and y intercept, but honestly my brain just quit on me. I need to graph the following:
Graph 2x-5y=10.
I have 2x-2x-5y=10-2x
-5y = -2x+12
-5y/-5= -2x+12
---------
-5
My answer was y=2/5x+12
But I know that's not right. The correct answer is y=2x/5+2
that is y= 2x over 5+2
Please help! Ever have one of those days your brain refuses to do anything but be jello?? lol BTW-This is not from a textbook. It is a worksheet.

Question 135345: Thank you for taking the time help with these questions.
The path of a falling object is given by the function where represents the initial velocity in ft/sec and represents the initial height in feet. Also, s represents the height in feet of the object at any time, t, which is measured in seconds.
If a rock is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 40 feet per second from the top of a 30-foot building, write the height (s) equation using this information, then determine the height after two (2) seconds, how many seconds to reach maximum height and what is maximum height?
