Question

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

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

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

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

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

Answer 2

If you rewrite that equation in terms of y, you'll get y = 5/3 x + 2 and the slope is the coefficient along x and y-intercept is the value you get when you put x = 0.

Answer 3

What will be the correct option ?

Answer 4

Well, the coefficient along x is 5/3 and when you put x=0 you'll get y=2 so the first one is correct.

Answer 5

5x - 3y = -6
3y=5x+6
y=5/3x+2
y=mx+c
m=5/3
c=2
so x=0
y intercept (0,c)
y intercept (0,2)

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