The correct Answer is:
To find the slope and the y-intercept of the equation \(2y + 5 = 0\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rearrange the equation to solve for \(y\). We start with the equation: \[ 2y + 5 = 0 \] To isolate \(y\), we first subtract 5 from both sides: \[ 2y = -5 \] Next, we divide both sides by 2: \[ y = -\frac{5}{2} \] ### Step 2: Identify the slope and the y-intercept. Now, we compare our rearranged equation \(y = -\frac{5}{2}\) with the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, which is: \[ y = mx + c \] where \(m\) is the slope and \(c\) is the y-intercept. In our equation: - There is no \(x\) term, which means the coefficient of \(x\) is 0. - The constant term is \(-\frac{5}{2}\). Thus, we can conclude: - The slope \(m = 0\) - The y-intercept \(c = -\frac{5}{2}\) ### Final Answer: - Slope: \(0\) - Y-intercept: \(-\frac{5}{2}\) ---
