Calculate the slope and $y$ -intercept of the line $2 x + 5 y + 1 = 0$

Open in App

Solution

Given: $2 x + 5 y + 1 = 0$
$\Rightarrow 5 y = - 2 x - 1$
$\Rightarrow y = \frac{- 2}{5} x - \frac{1}{5}$
Comparing with $y = m x + c$ , we get
$m = \frac{- 2}{5}, c = \frac{- 1}{5}$
$∴$ Slope $= \frac{- 2}{5}, y$ -intercept $= \frac{- 1}{5}$
