SOLUTION: So there's this problem that says state the slope and y-intercept for 2x=5y-11. I know that the slope-intercept formula is y=mx+b, but I'm not sure if the slope is 2 or 5.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
THIS SLOPE IS NEITHER 2 NOR 5 AS SHOWN BELOW:
2X=5Y-11
5Y=2X+11
Y=2X/5+11/5
USING THE LINE FORMULA Y=mX+b WHERE M=SLOPE & b=Y INTERCEPT.
WE HAVE IN THIS FORMULA AN m VALUE OF (2/5) & A b VALUE OF (11/5).
