Question

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

Answer 1

convert the equation as y=mx+b
where m=slope and b=y-int

Answer 2

what.? if i knew how to do that i wouldnt be in summer school.

Answer 3

y=mx+b
-6=5x-3y
Sooo
5=slope and 3=y-intercept

Answer 4

putting x=0 we get the y int so 5(0)-3y=-6
so y=2 as y int is the point on y axis so that points x component is 0
and the slope can be found out by differentiating the equation and finding dy/dx

Answer 5

i am not positive though

Answer 6

to isolate the y first you move the 5x, when you move to the other side change the sign
-3y = -5x -6

Answer 7

then divide by -3
you have
y = 5/3x+2

Answer 8

then divide by -3

Answer 9

now you have it in the right format, 5/3 = m = slope and 2 = b = y-int
