Answer:

Option- y equals minus two x plus start fraction five over two end fraction is correct. That is [tex]y=-2x+\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is 4x+2y=5

We have to write the given equation in the form of y=mx+b

4x+2y=5

2y=5-4x

[tex]y=\frac{5-4x}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{5}{2}-\frac{4x}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{5}{2}-2x[/tex]

Rewritting the above equation as below

[tex]y=-2x+\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Therefore the given equation can be written in the form [tex]y=-2x+\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Option- y equals minus two x plus start fraction five over two end fraction is correct. That is [tex]y=-2x+\frac{5}{2}[/tex].
