3x + 5y= -15 find the slope and y intercept

OpenStudy (crashonce):

we start by slightly reforming it 5y = -3x-15

OpenStudy (crashonce):

now both sides will be divided by 5 to give: y = -3/5 x - 3

OpenStudy (crashonce):

the slope is -3/5 (the number before the x) and the y intercept is -3 (the constant)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then its the y=mx+b

OpenStudy (crashonce):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for the help

OpenStudy (crashonce):

no worries
