Question

Given the linear equation x + y = 5, find the slope of its graph.

Answer 1

Do you know that y=mx+b is called slope-intercept form?
It is because m tells us the slope .
And b tells us about the y-intercept.

Answer 2

Can you try to write x+y=5 in the form y=mx+b ?

Answer 3

xy=5

Answer 4

addition doesn't turn into multiplication
for example
3+2 is not the same as 3(2)
you know since
3+2=5 and 3(2)=6

Answer 5

Your objective is to solve x+y=5 for y.
Try either subtracting/adding something on both sides to do this.

Answer 6

its just 5?

Answer 7

Not sure what you are talking about?
x+y is 5
yes
but we want to write x+y=5
in the form y=mx+b
that means basically I need you to attempt to solve x+y=5 for y.
The hint I gave is for you to pick something to subtract on both sides.

Answer 8

do you see the addition of x on the same side as y?
Try subtracting x on both sides.
