Question

Write this equation in slope-intercept form, and then find the slope and y-intercept.
5y+3x=10

anonymous · Answer

y=2-(3/5)x

slope = -3/5
y-intercept = 2

anonymous · Answer

How did you get -3? ...

anonymous · Answer

$$5y+3x=10$$Subtract three x$$5y=10-3x$$$$y=2-\frac{ 3 }{ 5 }x$$

anonymous · Answer

I don't get what you did after subtracting 3x

anonymous · Answer

Wait. so you subtracted 3x from 3x and that's out so then you subtracted 3x from 10?

anonymous · Answer

If you did that, Then you're left with 5y=7x

anonymous · Answer

I think///

anonymous · Answer

no, just 5y=10-3x. Ten is not being multiplies by x

anonymous · Answer

Divide both sides by five

anonymous · Answer

So I divide 5y by 5 and 3x by 5?

anonymous · Answer

and ten

anonymous · Answer

So the answer is y=0.6x+2?

anonymous · Answer

You dropped the negative sign on three fifths (remember that you subtracted 3x from the right, or added a negative three x)

anonymous · Answer

Oh//Okay/ Thanks. Another thing,Why am I supposed to add/subtract a -3?

anonymous · Answer

because slope-intercept form has y by itself on the left: you needed to subtract three x and divide by 5 in order to isolate y.
