Question

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

Answer 1

you can use the formula y = mx + b
where m=slope and b= y-int

Answer 2

you need to change the equation to slope intercept form

Answer 3

isolate the y on equation 5x-3y=-6

Answer 4

Do you know how to do that?

Answer 5

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 6

you having trouble ?

Answer 7

5x - 3y = -6
first subtract 5x from each side

Answer 8

If you change the equation from standard form to slope intercept you will get your answer. do you know how?

Answer 9

-3y=-6-5x
?

Answer 10

continue trying to isolate the y.

Answer 11

-3y = - 5x - 6
now divide the equation by -3 to get y by itself

Answer 12

undo the multiplication

Answer 13

when dividing seperate each term. like so
