Question

whats the correct slope and y-intercept of the equation 5x - 3y = -6

Answer 1

-3y=-5x-6
y=5/3x+2
slope=5/3
y-intercept=2

Answer 2

Solve for y.
The slope if the coefficient on the x variable. The intercept is the solution you get for x=0

Answer 3

Or you can just look at the 'b' term

Answer 4

given the form: ax + by = c, slope is ultimately -a/b

Answer 5

also given the form: ax + by = c , the intercepts can be read as

\[\frac{x}{c/a}+\frac{y}{c/b}=1\]
such that the x int is: c/a
and the y int is: c/b

Answer 6

Always gotta be makin up formulae.

Answer 7

its a hobby :)
