Identify the correct slope and y-intercept of the equation 5x - 3y = -6 slope = -5; y-intercept = (0, -6) slope = 5/3; y-intercept = (0, 2) slope = -3/5; y-intercept = (0, 2) slope = 5/3; y-intercept = (0, -6)

OpenStudy (krabsen):

y=ax+b do that help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really

OpenStudy (krabsen):

ok, you need to rewright it so it look like that

OpenStudy (krabsen):

first step is -5x on both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3y=-11x

OpenStudy (krabsen):

no -3y=-5x-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (krabsen):

then you divide with -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u mean +3

OpenStudy (krabsen):

nope i mean -3

OpenStudy (krabsen):

but you can divide with 3 but then there are an extra step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=-5x+2

OpenStudy (krabsen):

\[-3y/-3=(-5x/-3)-6/-3\]

OpenStudy (krabsen):

is y=5/3x+2

OpenStudy (krabsen):

now you got your slope and y-intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much the answer is B

OpenStudy (krabsen):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you made me do the work too so now i can do it myself :)

OpenStudy (krabsen):

good :)
