Graph the line. $5 x + 2 y = 0$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To graph the line, we can first rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

5x + 2y = 0 
2y = -5x 
y = (-5/2)x

So the slope of the line is -5/2, and the y-intercept is 0. We can plot the y-intercept at the point (0,0) and use the slope to find another point on the line. The slope tells us that for every 2 units to the right, the line goes down by 5 units. So we can plot another point 2 units to the right of (0,0) at the point (2,-5).

Plotting these two points and connecting them with a straight line gives us the graph of the line. The only answer choice with this graph is B.
