What is the slope and the y-intercept of - 1.7x-1.9y=5.8

M = - 17/19 B=-58/19

Step-by-step explanation:

-1.7x-1.9y=5.8

multiply both sides by 10 to get whole numbers.

-17x-19y=58.

-17x-19y+17x=58+17x

-19y=58+17x

divide both sides by 19 and simplify.

y=-17/19x-58/19. so your slope is - 17/19 and your y-intercept is - 58/19.
