A certain line is defined by the equation y=(5x-8/2)
What is the value of the slope?
What is the y-int of the line?
Solution
I am givibg two answers because the equation is not clear whether the denominator belongs to 5x-8 or only -8
A)Given equation of the line is y= (5x-8)/2
y=(5/2)x-4
It is of the form y= mx+c where m is slope and c is y-intercept
Hence slope= 5/2
Y-intercept = -4
( Or)
If y=5x-8/2
y=5x-4
It is of the form y=mx+c
Slope m=5
Y-intercept c=-4
