Question

Identify the slope and the y-intercept for the line equation given: −5x + y = −3.

Answer 1

what you need to do is put your equation in y = mx + b form where m is your slope and b is your y intercept.
Can you do this ?

Answer 2

Not exactly.

Answer 3

-5x + y = - 3 --- add 5x to both sides
-5x + 5x + y = -3 + 5x -- combine like terms
y = 5x - 3
this is now in y = mx + b form.
Your slope is in the m position...so what is your slope ?
Your y intercept is in the b position...so what is your y intercept ?

Answer 4

any thoughts ?

Answer 5

I have no idea how to do this.

Answer 6

as you can see, your slope is 5 and your y intercept is -3
