OpenStudy (sandra):
well, slope intercept form is y=mx + b, where m is the slope
OpenStudy (sandra):
so what you want to do is get y on one side by itself
OpenStudy (sandra):
so 2x + 5 + 6y = 0
OpenStudy (sandra):
2x + 5 = -6y
OpenStudy (sandra):
divide both sides by -6

OpenStudy (sandra):
-2/6x -5/6 = y
OpenStudy (sandra):
or the other way around: y = -1/3x -5/6
OpenStudy (sandra):
so the slope is 1/3
OpenStudy (sandra):
and that is slope intercept form
