Question

Rewrite the below linear equation in slope-intercept form:
5x+ 8y = 16
Select one:
A. y= 8/5x - 2
B. y= 16/5x + 3
C. y= -5/2x + 8
D. y = - 5/8x + 3

Answer 1

Answer:

I don't think any options are correct.

Explanation:

When solved for y the process goes as follows:

5x+ 8y = 16

5x + 8y - 5x = 16 - 5x

8y = 16 - 5x

8y/8 = (16-5x)/8

y = 2- (5/8)x
