Question

how do i write the equation in slope-intercept form, and then find the slope and y-intercept for 
2x-y=-15

triciaal · Answer

rewrite to let the subject be y
y = ?

anonymous · Answer

I'm supposed to isolate Y correct?

triciaal · Answer

yes

triciaal · Answer

the slope will be the coefficient of x and the intercept is the constant

anonymous · Answer

ok so 2x-y=-15
-y=-2x-15
y=2x+15

triciaal · Answer

another way to see the intercept is to ask what is the value of y when x = 0

triciaal · Answer

yes you got it

anonymous · Answer

lol srry I'm having a hard time I'm middle school

anonymous · Answer

ok so how do i write it in slope intercept form..or did i do that

triciaal · Answer

don't be sorry   its ok   here to help  it takes practice to master the concepts

triciaal · Answer

that is slope intercept form
y = mx + b

triciaal · Answer

slope m  intercept b

anonymous · Answer

OH so did find the y intercept

anonymous · Answer

Thank you

triciaal · Answer

yes   y intercept means what is the value of y when x = 0

anonymous · Answer

so the slope intercept form is y=2x+15?

how do i find the slope?

how do i find the y-intercept?

triciaal · Answer

you are welcome. keep practicing and it will get easier.  your high school will be a breeze if you understand the terms in middle school

triciaal · Answer

y = mx + b
the slope is m
the intercept is b
now match them up

triciaal · Answer

y = mx + b
y = 2x + 15
is it clear now?

anonymous · Answer

OOOHHHHHHHHH yea i get it thank you.

anonymous · Answer

ill see you later thank you
