Change the equation 2x - 5y + 4 = 0 into an equivalent equation written in the slope-intercept form

Answer: The equation in slope intercept form is

y = 2x/5 + 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where c = y intercept

m represents the slope of the line.

The given equation is expressed as

2x - 5y + 4 = 0

Adding 5y to the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes,

2x - 5y + 5y + 4 = 5y

5y = 2x + 4

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 5, it becomes,

5y/5 = 2x/5 + 4/5

y = 2x/5 + 4/5
