x%2B5y=10 Start with the given equation.


5y=10-x Subtract x from both sides.


5y=-x%2B10 Rearrange the terms.


y=%28-x%2B10%29%2F5 Divide both sides by 5 to isolate y.


y=%28-1%2F5%29x%2B10%2F5 Break up the fraction.


y=-%281%2F5%29x%2B2 Reduce.


So the equation y=-%281%2F5%29x%2B2 is now in slope intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=-1%2F5 and the y-intercept is b=2


note: the y-intercept is the point
