Question

HELP! Can someone tell me how to graph this equation with the slope-intercept method? 
5x + 2y = 30

anonymous · Answer

slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

y = -5x/2 +15

whre -5/2 is the slope.

anonymous · Answer

just give a value to x then what ever will come out when you solve it will be the value of y, and that will be your point on the graph, thake at least 3 or 4 points.

anonymous · Answer

15 is your constant so when graphing just -5x/2, you know that the origin is 0 since the b corresponds to the y intercept

anonymous · Answer

this is the graph -5x/2=y  translated 15 units up

anonymous · Answer

then when applying your slope, it is rise over run so go down -5 and 2 over

divide out the 30; drop the coeffs and simplify
|dw:1316619453154:dw|
the denoms are our intercepts
