Question

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

Answer 1

y = mx + b ... does this look familiar?

Answer 2

yes @rmrjr22

Answer 3

good, now make ur equation look like it and you will get your answer

Answer 4

can you put the equation in y = mx + b form ?

Answer 5

i think

Answer 6

lets try it......show me what you can do

Answer 7

yeah, move this equation around!

Answer 8

5x - 3y = 6
you want to get y on one side

Answer 9

-3y=5x-6

Answer 10

keep going... get y all by itself

Answer 11

good start

Answer 12

add 3 to both sides

Answer 13

no....divide both sides by -3

Answer 14

nope... right now its multiplying with y... to get it to the other side you have to do the opposite

Answer 15

oh thats what confused me

Answer 16

watch ur signs btw

Answer 17

so divide or multiply

Answer 18

divide

Answer 19

ok

Answer 20

when you have -5x +4 = 0 ... what do you do first?

Answer 21

subtract 4

Answer 22

good

Answer 23

then you have -5x = 4... now get x by its lonesome

Answer 24

you do the opposite

Answer 25

wait i think i have the answer

Answer 26

-5x is multiplying, so do the opposite

Answer 27

x = -4/5

Answer 28

slope=5/3 y intercept=2

Answer 29

BINGO....see, you can do this

Answer 30

ok thanks

Answer 31

yup

Answer 32

5x - 3y = -6
-3y = -5x - 6
-3y/-3 = -5/3x - 6/-3
y = -5/3x + 2

slope = -5/3 and y intercept = 2

Answer 33

way to go @Courage. .....good job

Answer 34

Thanks

Answer 35

its 5/3... the negative cancels out
