Question

how do you solve for Y-1=-5(X-2)

Answer 1

when you say solve i am assuming you want to find Y in terms of x?
Y = something?

Answer 2

I'm talking to myself again!!

Answer 3

Simplifying
y + -1 = -5(x + -2)

Reorder the terms:
-1 + y = -5(x + -2)

Reorder the terms:
-1 + y = -5(-2 + x)
-1 + y = (-2 * -5 + x * -5)
-1 + y = (10 + -5x)

Solving
-1 + y = 10 + -5x

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1 + y = 10 + 1 + -5x

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + y = 10 + 1 + -5x
y = 10 + 1 + -5x

Combine like terms: 10 + 1 = 11
y = 11 + -5x

Simplifying
y = 11 + -5x

Answer 4

(y - 1) - (0 - 5 • (x - 2)) = 0
Step 2 :

Equation at the end of step 2 :

y + 5x - 11 = 0
Step 3 :

Equation of a Straight Line

3.1 Solve y+5x-11 = 0

Answer 5

1. Slope = -10.000/2.000 = -5.000
2. x-intercept = 11/5 = 2.20000
3. y-intercept = 11/1 = 11.00000
