Question

Rewrite the standard form equation below into slope-intercept form.
x – 2y = 3

Answer 1

what i got was y=5x

Answer 2

x - 2y = 3
-x -x

-2y = -x + 3

divided by -2 on both sides

y = (x/2) - (3/2)

Answer 3

i dont know how to do that...

Answer 4

I'll give you one: x - 5y = 10

what do you do first

Answer 5

add 5 to both sides

Answer 6

No, you want 5 on the left side, and x with some number on the left

x is positive on the left side, so subtract both sides by x

Answer 7

x - x -5y = 10 - x

you get -5y = 10 - x

Answer 8

ok....

Answer 9

x - x = 0, so they cancel

Answer 10

yeah

Answer 11

-5y = 10 -x

we want the y to be by itself so what do we do

Answer 12

divide by -5 both sides

Answer 13

Yes so we get y = (-x/-5) + (10/-5)

that simplifies into what?

Answer 14

10 - x is the same thing as -x + 10. You want the x to be first

Answer 15

y= (something) +(-2)
i dont understand how to do "(-x/-5)"

Answer 16

(-x/-5) The negatives cancel, leaving you with (x/5)

In the end, you have y = (x/5) -2


(10/-5) = -2

Answer 17

ok i found the answer on the sheet thankyou

Answer 18

The answer? I just made this up so you know how to do them yourself :)
