Question

convert the standard form equation into slope - intercept form.
x - 5y = 10
options:
y = 1/5x + 2
y = -1/5x + 2
y = 1/5x - 2
y = -1/5x - 2

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the y-term

$x - 5y = 10 \implies -5y = -x + 10$

Step2: Solve for y (divide by -5)

$y = \frac{-x}{-5} + \frac{10}{-5} \implies y = \frac{1}{5}x - 2$

Answer:

C. $y = 1/5x - 2$
