Question

This is homework. I need to write both 2a and 2b in a y = mx + b form. please help with answer :))

Answer 1

Step 1

Rearrange the equation to the form of y = mx+b

$\begin{gathered} 2a)\text{ 6x+5y=20} \\ 5y=\text{ 20-6x} \\ y=\frac{\text{ 20-6x}}{5} \\ y=-\frac{6}{5}x+4 \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} 2b)4x-8y=16 \\ 4x-16=\text{ 8y} \\ y\text{ =}\frac{4x-16}{8} \\ y=\text{ }\frac{1}{2}x-2 \end{gathered}$
