What does the line 5x+2y=8 look like?

question 6 options:

a)
horizontal

b)
vertical

c)
slanted right upwards

d)
slanted right downwards

The correct answer would be D. The plot of the line 5x+2y = 8 is slanted right downwards. To predict, we write the equation into slope-intercept form as follows:

y = mx + b        where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept form

5x + 2y = 8
y = -5x/2 + 4

As we can see, the slope is negative so the graph should slope to the right downwards.
