Find the y -intercept and the slope of the line.
write your answers in simplest form
5x - 2y = 2

The slope is 5/2 and the y intercept is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope and the y intercept, we will write the equation in slope intercept form, y =mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

5x -2y =2

Add 2y to each side

5x-2y+2y =2 +2y

5x = 2+2y

Subtract 2 from each side

5x-2 = 2y+2-2

5x-2 =2y

Divide each side by 2

5x/2 -2/2 = 2y/2

5/2x -1 = y

y = 5/2x -1

The slope is 5/2 and the y intercept is -1

the total estimated nappy use.=10,500,000

step-by-step explanation:

given that on an average the average baby uses 3528 napkins.

in a particular year 2014, the number of births were 299697 in new south wales.

rounding off the number of births to the nearest hundred thousand we have

no of birtsh = 300000

also rounding off the average usage to nearst thousand we get

average use of a baby = 3500

hence total number of nappy estimated to be used = 3500x300000

= 10,500,000

answer is 10,500,000 nappies
