Write in y=mx+b Form 5y=2x

$5 y = 2 x$

Step 1

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Step 2

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

Divide each term in $5 y = 2 x$ by $5$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $5 y = 2 x$ by $5$ .

$\frac{5 y}{5} = \frac{2 x}{5}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{5 y}{5} = \frac{2 x}{5}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{2 x}{5}$

Reorder terms.

$y = \frac{2}{5} x$
