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

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

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

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?
