Question

Consider the equation 5x + 2y = 30

please explain step by step how to graph in slope-intercept form

Answer 1

Any ideas?

Answer 2

would I take the values from the standard form and plug them in?

Answer 3

The first thing you need to know is the "slope-intercept" form: $$\Huge y=mx+b$$

Answer 4

Can you manipulate the standard form into this form?

Answer 5

isolate the 2y first

Answer 6

so subtract the 5x to the other side

Answer 7

which would be...?

Answer 8

2y=-5x+30

Answer 9

Substitute both x and y with 0 in turn, then solve the two equations you come up with.
5(0) + 2y = 30 and 5x + 2(0) = 30

Answer 10

afterwards divide everything by 2

Answer 11

to isolate the y

Answer 12

which would make it y=-5/2x+15

Answer 13

oh, thank you @chicharito4781 that helped so much

Answer 14

no problem yo.
