37Find the Slope and Intercept
from the Equation of a Line
Example: Find the slope and y intercept of the line
whose equation is 5x – 2y = 10.
5�� − 2�� = 10
Solution: Solve the equation
for y in terms of x. Identify the
−2�� = −5�� + 10
coefficient of x as the slope and
5
the y intercept as the constant
�� =
�� − 5
term.
2
Therefore: the slope is 5/2 and
the y intercept is –5.
