Question

Identify the correct slope and y-intercept of the equation 5x - 3y = -6

Answer 1

do you know point slope formula?

Answer 2

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 3

the equation needs to be put into y=mx+b form how would you do that for 5x-3y=-6?

Answer 4

y=5x+3?

Answer 5

is the 5 negative or positive?

Answer 6

positive

Answer 7

-3y=-5x-6
do you subtract or divide the 3?

Answer 8

when you brung the 5 over to the right side of the equal sign it was subtracted so it becomes a negative

Answer 9

oh ok. And would you divide the 3?

Answer 10

yes y=-5/3-2
does 5/3 and 2 stay negative or positive

Answer 11

negative

Answer 12

they turn positive when 2 negatives come together they turn positive
\[y=\frac{ 5 }{ 3 }+2\]

Answer 13

\[y=\frac{ 5 }{ 3 }x+2\]

Answer 14

so the slope is 5/3 and the y intercept is 2?

Answer 15

yes
