Answer:
The slope is -.3125 and the y intercept is 25
The x intercept is 80
Step-by-step explanation:
2.5x+8y=200
We want to get this in slope intercept form so we will solve for y
Subtract 2.5x from each side
2.5x-2.5x+8y=-2.5x +200
8y = -2.5x +200
Now divide by 8 on both sides
8y/8 = -2.5x/8 + 200/8
y = -.3125x +25
This is in the form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
The slope is -.3125 and the y intercept is 25
To find the x intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x
2.5x+8y=200
2.5x = 200
Divide by 2.5 on each side
2.5x/2.5 = 200/2.5
x =80
To write in slope intercept form you will need to subtract the 2.5x from the left side and subtract it from the right. So you now have 8y= -2.5x+200. Then divide 8 out of 8y and from the right side. You might need to simplify the -2.5x over 8 out for your answer or to make it easier
