Question 306772: find the slope and y intercept of these lines.
5x - 2y + 8 = 0
first try:
I got m = 1 ; y intercept = -40
2nd attempt:
m = 5/8 ; y intercept = 8
third try:
m = 5/2 ; y intercept = -8

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let's see.
Convert to slope-intercept form, y=mx%2Bb where m is the slope, b is the intercept.
5x+-+2y+%2B+8+=+0
2y=5x%2B8
y=%285%2F2%29x%2B4
highlight%28m=5%2F2%29
highlight%28b=4%29
