Write the equation 2x-5y=20 in slope intercept form

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-5y=20

Making y the subject

-5y = - 2x + 20

Dividing by - 5

y = - 2/-5x + 20/-5

y = 2/5x - 4

So comparing with y = mx + c

Slope m = 2/5

Intercept c = - 4

x = 10 + 2.5y y = - 4 - 0.4x

Step-by-step explanation

Subtract 2x from both sides.

-5y = 20 + 2x

Divide by - 5 on both sides.

y = - 4 - 2/5x or you can do y = - 4 - 0.4x

and then to find x, add 5y to both sides of original equation.

2x - 5y = 20

2x = 20 + 5y

Divide by 2 on both sides.

x = 10 + 2.5y
