Question

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

Answer 1

If you solve for y, you will have it in slope-intercept form. This can be done through some basic algebra -- division, subtraction...

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

Answer 2

So what is the answer? :|

Answer 3

5x - 3y = -6
-3y = -6 - 5x
y = (-6)/(-3) - ((5)/(-3))x
y = 2 + (5/3)x
y = (5/3)x + 2

Slope: 5/3
y-intercept: 2
