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

A.slope = 5 over 3; y-intercept = (0, 2)
B.slope = -5; y-intercept = (0, -6)
C.slope = negative 3 over 5; y-intercept =(0,2)
D.slope = 5 over 3; y-intercept = (0, -6)

Answer 1

Rewrite into slope-intercept form.
5x - 3y = -6
-3y = -5x - 6
y = (5/3)x + 2
In the form
y = mx+ b
m = slope
b = y-intercpet

Answer 2

First rewrite the equation in the form y=mx+c then the slope and y-intercept are m anc c respectively.@lizz123
The given equation can be written as 3y=5x+6 hence y=(5/3)x+2 Therefore slope=5/3 and y-intercept=(0,2) Option A is correct
