Question

what is the slope and y-intercept of the equation 5x-3y=-6

Answer 1

You have to set up your equation in slope intercept form which is:

y=mx+b

Answer 2

put it in slope intercept form
y=mx+b

m is slope
and b is y intercept.

Answer 3

Basically, you want to get y alone so you have to move everything to the other side.

Example:

3x +2y= 8
2y = 8-3x ------> Subtract 3x from both sides
y= 4-3/2x ------> Divide both sides by 2
y=-3/2x + 4 -----> slope intercept form
m=-3/2 y=4


Try to do this with your equation.

Answer 4

What do you get @Bbjunkie ?

Answer 5

5x-3y=-6
Solve the above for y.\[y=\frac{5 x}{3}+2 \]The slope is the coefficient of x and +2 is the y intercept.

Answer 6

well the answers i have are a. slope=5/3; y-intercept=(0,2)
b. slope=-5; y-intercept=(0,-6)
c. slope=-3/5; y-intercept=(0,2)
d. slope= 5/3; y-intercept= (0,-6)

Answer 7

a. is the answer.
Slope:\[\frac{5 x}{3}= \frac{5}{3}x \]The slope is 5/3
The y intercept is usually viewed as to where the line crosses the y axis. The x value
of course is zero. (0,2) is a point with x=0 and y=2.
