want to isolate y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 3x from both sides

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

3x+2y=10 -3x -3x --------- 2y=-3x+10 /2 /2 /2 ---------- y=-3/2x+5

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

right this is the process according to @Requiem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then divide everything by 2 to get y by itself

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

then u would figure out the y-intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the main goal is to get y by itself so you pretty much want to move everything to one side and then divide by the constant to get y by itself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you guys sooooo much!!!<33333

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just remember that to get slope intercept form for most cases, you want X on one side, and Y on the other....There are exceptions to this rule, but for now that should be fine :)

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

but you still need to find the y-intercept. WHat u have is only the slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the y intercept is (0,5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope = (-3/2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the slope is usually what is "attached" to the x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the Y intercept is whats left over on the end

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes...to find y intercept you put 0 in for x which would just leave you with the 5...hence you plugged in 0 for x and you got 5 for y which = (0,5)

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

right nice explaining @Requiem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your x intercept would be when you plug in 0 for y and then solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so your x intercept would be (10/3), 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you understand Pink?
