How do I find the y intercept of this linear equation? 2y + 6 = 5x I don't want the answer ,I just need someone to show me what I need to do to get the answer and I'll be good to go :)

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

Lets turn this into y=mx+b format first Can you do that for me?

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

2y = 5x + 6?

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

Good! Your on the right track, except you need the "y" on the left side alone. So what can we do with the 2?

OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):

y =(5x + 6)/2?

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

Yep, Now simplify

OpenStudy (kymber):

The y-intercept is B in y=mx+b! |dw:1333478419119:dw|
