Q. Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions.x+2y=−10Answer:
Subtract x: To convert the equation into slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, we need to solve for y. Let's start by subtracting x from both sides of the equation x+2y=−10.Calculation: x+2y−x=−10−xThis simplifies to: 2y=−x−10
Isolate y: Now, we need to isolate y by dividing both sides of the equation by 2.Calculation: (2y)/2=(−x−10)/2This simplifies to: y=−x/2−5
