Question 10 • Mathematics 8

Consider this system of equations. Which equation represents the first equation written in slope-intercept form? 5 x minus 2 y is equal to 10 y is equal to 1 fourth x plus 1

Answer
A
y is equal to negative 5 x minus 5
B
y is equal to 5 halves x plus 10
C
y is equal to negative 5 halves x plus 10
D
y is equal to 5 halves x minus 5

Explanation

Start with the first equation, 5x − 2y = 10, and isolate y. Subtract 5x from both sides to get −2y = 10 − 5x, then divide by −2: y = (5/2)x − 5. This is choice D, y is equal to 5 halves x minus 5.
