Given the linear equation: 5x-2y=10
a) Convert the equation to slope-intercept form. State the slope of the line and the y-intercept as an ordered pair.
Please explain and show answer.
Solve for "y"::
y = (5/2)x - 5
---------------------
slope = 5/2
intercept = -5
--------------------

b) Use the slope and the y-intercept to graph the line represented by the equation.
Plot a point at the intercept (0,-5)
slope = 5/2 means y increases 5 when x increases 2
-------
Starting at (0,-5)
add 2 to x
add 5 to y
to get (2,0)
Plot the point (2,0)
---
Draw a line thru (0.-5), (2,0)
That is the graph you want.
------------
