Explanation:
#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope intercept form"# is.
#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#
#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#
#"rearrange "2x+5y=15" into this form"#
#"subtract "2x" from both sides and divide terms by 5"#
#5y=-2x+15#
#y=-2/5x+3larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"#
#"with slope "=-2/5" and y-intercept "=3#
