Question

Given the line -5x-2y=6 what is the slope-intercept form of the line, and the slope and y intercept?

Answer 1

I know Y= 5x/2-3

Answer 2

y = mx + b is the slope intercept form; where m=slope; and b = y int.

it all amounts to solving for y thru algebra techniques

Answer 3

-5x-2y=6 ; +5x

-2y = 5x + 6 ; /-2

y = (-5/2)x -3

Answer 4

slope = m = (-5/2)

y int = b = -3

Answer 5

I have no problem solving, I just can't seem to know what to do after that.

Answer 6

thank you
