convert it to slope intercept form of y = mx + b by doing the following:
start with 10x + 2y = -29
subtract 10x from both sides of the equation to get:
2y = -10x - 29
divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get:
y = -5x - 14.5
the equation is now in slope intercept form of y = mx + b.
m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
your slope is equal to -5 and your y-intercept is equal to -14.5
that means that y goes down 5 units for every 1 unit that x goes to the right.
the value of y is equal to -14.5 when the value of x = 0.
the graph of both equations is in red.
since the equations are equivalent, they make the same line on the graph.
when x = 0, y = -14.5
when x = 1, y = -5*1 - 14.5 -19.5
when x = 2, y = -5*2-14.5 = -24.5
