Question

y-5=-3/5(x+6)

Answer 1

are you wanting it in slope intercept form ?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

can you please help me

Answer 4

slope intercept form is y = mx + b. therefore we have to get y by itself...but first we need to get rid of the parenthesis by distributing the -3/5 through the parenthesis. Do you know how to do that ?

Answer 5

yes
multiplying it by the reciprocal

Answer 6

?

Answer 7

1. Use the distributive property on the right side
2. Add 5 to both sides

Answer 8

multiply the -3/5 by everything in the parenthesis....
y - 5 = -3/5 (x + 6)
y - 5 = -3/5 * x + (-3/5) * 6
y - 5 = -3/5x - 18/5
now we want y by itself, so we will add 5 to both sides
y - 5 + 5 = -3/5x - 18/5 + 5 -- combine like terms
y = -3/5x - 18/5 + 5/1 -- common denominator is 5
y = -3/5x - 18/5 + 25/5 -- combine like terms
y = -3/5x + 7/5 ==> slope intercept form

Answer 9

I listed all the steps but if you have any questions, please ask them
