Question

what is the slope intercept form of -2x+5y=15

Answer 1

can you tell me what slope intercept form is?

Answer 2

y=mx+b

Answer 3

this equation has 15 =
rearrange the equation to get y =
whatever you do to one side of the equation also do to the other to keep the balance

Answer 4

so we need to get y by itself on the left side. do you know what your first step would be

Answer 5

yeah, i know that but im really horrible at math and i just dont understand ow to work the problem out.

Answer 6

-2x + 5y = 15

since -2x is negative, you have to add 2x to both sides and that cancels it out on the left

5y = 2x + 15

Answer 7

5y = 2x + 15

then divide both sides by 5 to get y by itself

y = 2/5x + 3

Answer 8

does that make sense

Answer 9

yes thanks so much!!

Answer 10

no problem :) can you give me a medal please? :}

Answer 11

how do i do that? im sorry i just joined this site.

Answer 18

how about you try the next one and tell me what you think the answer is. then i'll tell you if you got it right or not

Answer 19

ok sounds fair

Answer 20

ok the problem is -x - 6y +30
and i got y = -6/1 +31

Answer 21

there's no = in your problem tho. and there's no x in your solution. i think you made some typos

Answer 22

ya sorry, its -x -6y = 30

Answer 23

-x -6y = 30

so you add x to both sides

-6y = x + 30

then divide both sides by -6

y = -1/6x - 5

Answer 24

oh alright, well i was close
