Given equation of straight line is 2x -5y + 10 = 0
or -5y = -2x -10
or y = 2/5 x +2 ------(1)
Which is the required equation of straight line in Slope intercept form. Comparing equation (1) with y = mx+c we get,
slope (m) = 2/5 and y-intercept (x) = 2.
Reduction of general equation of straight line to intercept form.
Let Ax + By +C = 0 be the equation in general form of any straight line.
∴Ax +By = -C
Which is the required straight line in intercept form, Comparing (1) with intercept form.
