You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi,
*Note solve for y
.
y = (-2/5)x
.
The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is in general y = mx + b where m is the slope and b the y-intercept ( the value of y where the line crosses the y-axis: thus (0,b) is a point on the line) here b = 0
.
For this line (0,0) is a point on the line
the slope is negative (slants to the left)
As y decreases by 2, x increases by 5 or as y increases by 2, x decreases by 5
