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
