Question

Identify the correct slope and y-intercept of the equation 5x - 3y = -6

slope = 5/3 ; y-intercept = (0, 2)

slope = -5; y-intercept = (0, -6)

slope =-3/5 ; y-intercept = (0, 2)

slope =5/3 ; y-intercept = (0, -6)

Answer 1

solve for y... can you do that first??

Answer 2

and btw, y-intercept is when x=0... so can you eliminate some choices there?

Answer 3

5 - 3y = -6
-5 -5
-3y = -11

Answer 4

???

Answer 5

what happened to the "x" ??

Answer 6

slope intercept form equation is y=mx+c where m is you slope and c is your y intercept just put the equation in this form
5x - 3y = -6
5x+6=3x
5x/3+6/3=y
(5/3)x+2=y
y=(5/3)x+2
comparing with equation y=mx+c
m=5/3 and c=2 or (0,2) so answer is 1
