What is the y-intercept for the equation - 2x + 5y = - 10

A. (0,5)

b. (0,-5)

c. (0,2)

d. (0,-2)

-2x+5y=-10 can be rewritten as

y=2/5x-2

therefore the y intercept is (0,-2) because in the equation y=mx+b, b is the y intercept and - 2 = b in this equation.

To find the y-intercept you have to covert - 2x+5y=-10 into mx + b form. To do this you solve for y. For the first step, you add 2x to both sides. The 2nd step, you divide both sides by 5. The finial answer is y = 2/5x-2 which makes - 2 your y-intercept since it intersects on the y axis. The answer is (0,-2)
