what are the intercepts of the equation 2.5x+8y=200 and/or how can i write it in slope intercept form

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

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
