Change the given equation into slope-intercept form. 5x – 2y = -10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

naw. Don't do that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just solve for y.

OpenStudy (jit4won):

yes .. Or divide each term by 2

OpenStudy (jit4won):

y = mx + c is the correct form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Give it a try. Ask me any questions that come up.

OpenStudy (ledah):

|dw:1338656333452:dw| correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So close. You made 1 small mistake.

OpenStudy (ledah):

where?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First step gives: -2y = -5x -10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you do from there?

OpenStudy (jit4won):

change sign of each term

OpenStudy (jit4won):

2y = 5x + 10

OpenStudy (jit4won):

then solve for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's an awkward way to think about it. If that's confusing to you, ignore it.

OpenStudy (ledah):

:l yeah this is confusing me now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It shouldn't. You're like... there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did you get as far as -2y = -5x -10?

OpenStudy (ledah):

the fact that like seven different replies were made... saying a different way.. confused me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which is why you should ignore everyone but me =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Start over if you need to. 5x-2y = -10 solve for y. What is your first step?
